Talking about quotations, I came across this one yesterday during a photo workshop: "Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships". Ansel Adams BTW, I am returning to Photoforum after almost 1 year of break because of work, travel etc. I have been reading recent posts and I see lot of new faces along with lots of old folks still hanging around. :) Looking forward to sharing some new photographs with you guys. Yesterday, I shot 8 rolls of APX 100 near Pascadero, Pebble beach, CA in a workshop that was named "Beaches and Backroads" offered by PhotoCentral Hayward (CA). bye, achal Achal Pashine, Ph.D Pediatric Immunology Center for Clinical Sciences Research, Room 2120 269 Campus Drive Stanford, CA 94305-5164 Tel: 1-650-498-7574 FAX: 1-650-498-6077 ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike King To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 9:34 AM Subject: Re: Quotation Mortensen was a real character, a dedicated artist and about as far from Ansel Adams as one could get in technique, I don't believe AA cared for him or his photos very much but I find things I like about both artists and their work. darkroommike ---------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Marilyn To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2003 8:56 AM Subject: Quotation A friend of mine gave me some of his old photography books (bless him), and I like this quotation in the front of one of the books. The book is Mortensen on the Negative, by William Mortensen, Simon and Schuster, 1940. The quotation is: "Dedicated to the real photographers of the world - to those who, with their second-hand equipment and their makeshift darkrooms, are today fighting their solitary battles with their recalcitrant medium, not for money or for glory, but because they would rather make pictures than anything else in the world." I just thought PF members would enjoy it. Marilyn
