found some prints from the 1950's when I used to go to the '100 Jazz Club' in London. Oxford Street, taken on my Asahi Pentax S3 I had at the time and printed on a British 'Gamer' enlarger on Kodak Bromide WSG S/W paper. Here is ACKER BILK
Very cool! Love the profile. At first glance he looked a bit like Pete Fountain, another famous clarinetist. I have Acker's "Only You" album and it's one of my favorite dinner time vinyl sides of the easy listening variety. He was a great musician.
These are great! Does anybody do this kind of photography any more? I did when I was in college (later 50's), using my Retina III with 1.9 lens and Tri-X.Also, I never did know what Aker Bilk looked like - great jazz clarinetist.
