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."

Al Rockoff: Where to buy some prints?

If you don't know about Al Rockoff, you should. He shot some of the spectacular pictures of war in SE Asia, more specifically in Cambodia. I was first introduced to his work in Cambodia at a Cantinas, a great Mexican restaurant flanked by happy pizza shops...

Anyway I'd love to purchase a few prints of his for my office of house, but I can't find them for sale anywhere. Any idea where I can find any short of tracking him down the next time I'm in Cambodia?

Thanks!

Maybe this guy knows - look for his work from Bangkok, photos titled with "Thailand in Storm" and who he accompanied in those days.

I am familiar with those shots, but Al is not in Thailand as far as I know.

Dude, have you been to Cambodia or even Asia? I've been living in Japan for 7 years. Good Mexican to me is the same as calling a good burger a Double Quarter Pounder, although Cantinas is really something special.

Again though, if you had been to SE Asia you'd settle for what you could get. The rest of the shops on the same block will pack your pizza full of more cannabis than your local dispensary stocks. I avoid those places...
