DEAR UNCLE DICK,
I never knew about a Hasselblad List? Does it still exist? How can
I join? I have had photos in a number of Hasselblad manuals and did some
advertising photography for 'Blad. I spoke with Ernst Wildi just before
Xmas, I think.
Soooooooooooooo, lemme gnoooooooooooo how I can get on this 'Blad
list.
CHEERS!
BOB

Dear Nephew Ron,
Unlike the controversy about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, there is
no doubt about Uncle Dick. He really does exist and pursues studio
photography and dentistry in Perth, Western Australia. He is happy to be
the official unofficial uncle of the pure-silver and Hasselblad lists, as
well as the Grey Company - a Perth-based medieval reenactment group.
Uncle Dick is a responsible position, though some of the things it has
been responsible for are best left unsaid. The original model for Uncle Dick
was provided in and Australian newspaper cartoon of the 60's and 70's - "
Uncle Dick and the Potts". Uncle Dick liked the ladies and the grog and was
not adverse to speaking in an earnest manner to the local SP bookie. He wore
a natty blazer, a straw hat, and round eyeglasses, as do I. The only
difference is the newspaper character was round and chubby and I most
closely resemble the farmer in Grant Woods' "American Gothic", including the
bib overalls and the pitchfork.
Uncle Dick does not know everything....as he discovers daily in the
darkroom. But he knows lots of people and they generally put him right. When
all else fails he reads their instructions.
And the best part - Sunday, 1st of April is Uncle Dick's 59th birthday.
Now he is old enough to drink whiskey, smoke cigars, and join the army.
Uncle Dick
