I have admired Sidibe photographs for some. I was unaware that he used a
Rollei since the framing is most often not square. His work is a living
documentary of Senegal!
Is it not satisfying to hear of his frugality? Consider the worth of the
photographic resources in most of Africa?

Relative to a previous thread, note his comment about the virtues of
restraint and economy when shooting film...

"Malick Sidibé
Mr. Sidibé, now in his mid-70s, is a well established figure in Mali
and renowned worldwide. Andreas Kokkino, the fashion editor who
conceived and styled the spread, has said about working with Mr.
Sidibé: ?Instead of the usual hundreds and hundreds of frames per shot
that I had become accustomed to in this era of digital photography,
Sidibé took only two or three frames for every shot. When the shoot
was over, he had only shot 22 frames on his Rolleiflex!
And one of them was judged to be among the best in the world." :
The photograph is the number 14in the NYT blog, it and the others are
better seen full screen:

"He who does not set foot in the laboratory is not a photographer"

Spain.
