Atget in Edinburgh?

[Rob MacKillop]

Not quite. I'll have to time it when half is not in shadow. Mamiya C330S, HP5.

Good idea, Rob! By the way, half in shadow doesn't look bad to me at all. Move the bike and this could be 1890.

Coincidentally, I just yesterday ordered the book "Atget Paris" via Amazon. It should arrive early next week.

Cheers, Brian. We need a period-correct bike, then it would be fine. I really like Atget's work. It's odd that he was just documenting scenes so that artists could paint them, and then that led to a genre within photography.

PS I don't mind the shadow now either...

I like the shadow too (and Atget - it's a good book Brian). Very nice Rob. Now what you really need is a large format camera!

(and Atget - it's a good book Brian).

Got it yesterday, Pete. I agree. Plus its helping me with my French.

Some of the images remind me of a Scottish photographer, er, what's his name....?...Oh yes,...McKillop or something...

 

[Pete Askew]

Never heard of him! Is he any good?!

He's a very hot property.

 

[Pete Askew]

Is he a Scotty then?!

 

[Brian Moore]

Is he a Scotty then?!

Yes,...AND a hotty one, at that!

Ha, effing ha! Robget, it is!
