Saturday in Balboa Park,
some of the museums had book sales.
Among them was the Museum of Photographic Arts. One
gentleman had beaten George to the table, and he had bought a giant pile of the
books. Five bucks a bag, they were. G bought most of what was left…all of the above. Simply marvelous stuff including two volumes
on Eisenstaedt.
Paul Adams Hawkins, my
first husband, was a really good photographer.
He introduced me to the magic of the medium, then he took the camera
away from me. My works were snapshots,
he told me. I didn’t argue in those
days.
Now I live with a marvelous
man who buys me cameras. He puts up with
me when I drop them, he takes better shots than I do, and his eye makes me push
myself harder.
Here’s a little photo
essay on Time Magazine:
You really are doing well. Making great progress too.
ReplyDeleteI love photo books! I also love taking pictures.
ReplyDeleteNobody should take your camera away. Snapshots have their place and probably are the best photography at all in our memories.
ReplyDeleteJust read the article on Eisenstaedt. Oh my word... he was soooo good. Truly. And you are too. Never think for a moment that you aren't gifted when you're working behind a camera.
