Chim (David Seymour) Exhibit

Tonight was the opening of the exhibit "Chim: The Photography of David
Seymour" at the De Young Museum in San Francisco www.famsf.org . IMO it has
much to recommend it for photographers. Some of the square prints are in
color - mostly posed - and some in b&w. In addition to the selection of
photographic prints there are mementos such as identification cards and a
tattered customs declaration from 1947, stating that he had bought the
following items in the USA and will bring them back from Europe: two
Rolleiflex cameras, one Leica 143145 (which would make it a Leica III Model
F), a 9cm Elmar, a 5cm Summar, a 3.5cm Elmar, a 5cm Sonnar, and Norwood and
Weston exposure meters. Seymour was a co-founder of Magnum. He was killed in
1954.
