[rollei_list] Re: Verichrome

 Eric, thanks for the kind words.  One of my favorite jazz LPs was called
Jazz at Massey Hall -- it was out of print for ages but can be found now.
A Canadian jazz society had voted Charlie Parker, Max Roach, Mingus,
Bud Powell and Dizzy Gillespie the greatest jazz musicians of the day,
and arranged for a concert starring all five in Toronto.  Parker (who is
credited on the LP as "Charlie Chan" because his record label forbade
his appearance) forgot his horn and showed up with a white plastic
student alto sax.

Listen to the disc, and try to say how Bird's performance would have
been improved by a "better" horn.

My father shot this very same camera and Verichrome Pan when I was a kid,
and he did so with similar talent and effect. I am grateful to have learned
the lesson early in my life that the camera is not what counts...
accordingly I always spent modestly on hardware but did try to shoot as much
film as I could afford.
I think a large part of what my father and Sanders are able to do is build
comfort, trust and a relationship with the subjects they shoot, and it shows
in the images. Of course, I am not just referring to Melanie, Sanders ;-)
