Old friend as well as employer and mentor in another lifetime, Alen's work has had a big influence on me. Great to see so many of my favorites in his new website.

Enjoy... http://www.alenmacweeney.com/

Don, That was a real popular one of his back when I was printing there. I always loved it too.

He is definitely one of the greats in my mind. Thanks for checking him out you guys.

PS... I always loved his portrait of William Burroughs as well!

Wonderful stuff Bill. That Chris Whitley portrait is very moving, among many others. Thanks for posting the link.

I have always admired Alen MacWeeney's eye. His work on the tinkers in Ireland has stuck in my mind and inspired me.

He truly is a photographer's photographer. Glad people are looking!

Yes, I like these very much - you look at them, and then look again...and think about what you are looking at.

Nice work. I've never seen it before.

He's a great guy Jerry and he taught me a lot. I'd have never done the whole NY assisting thing if not for him bringing me there for a job. He just called the other night and I told him of the thread and that he'd gotten a few more viewers. Definitely check out his "Irish Travelers" book. He finally got it published after many years of false starts.

Great photographs! Thanks for turning us on to this photographer...

Are the color portraits all done with film and RA-4 prints?

 

[Kerik]

I just saw this thread, Bill. Wow, fantastic stuff! His portraits blow me away.
