Photogs / Photo Exhibits This is the place to discuss a particular Photographer (work, style, life, whatever), as well as to post Gallery and Museum Photo Exhibitions and your own impressions of them. As we march on in this new digital world, it is often too easy to forget about the visual importance of the photographic print, as well as their financial importance to the photographer. It is also interesting to remember that some guy named Gene Smith shot with lenses that many lens test reading "never had a picture published in their life" amateurs would turn up their their noses at, as being "unacceptable."

LIFE photog John Dominis in Milwaukee
I went to a presentation this afternoon with LIFE photographer John Dominis. Man, it was great! I got to talk with him a few minutes after the presentation. He's such a gentle soul. 88 years old, and has lived the life that many of us have fantasized about.

If you're in the Milwaukee area, he will be appearing at the VP Gallery on Saturday and Sunday.

And from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

A couple of pictures from yesterday's talk. MP loaded with Tri-X, 50/1.4 lux pre-asph @ f/2 and 1/15 sec. The lighting was horrible, but at least I got something.
