Ann, at first I laughed at this. Then I remembered that hanging at home I have an awesome panoramic shot of a heard of elk. I think the photographer was Ben something, I'll check when I get home.

But why "Ben"? what information or photographs does this galley have that has them looking for Bens?

 

[ann]

they are doing a show called "the Ben", the work or the artist will have the name ben included someplace .

It is not just photos, but a variety of media. they asked me if i knew of any photo "Bens".

thanks for checking .

My suggestion for next show for this gallery: doing a show called "the Norm", the work or the artist will have the name norm included someplace.

Could send you loads of stuff

Good luck though with the show -
Norm

Ben Shahn was a "famous" photographer for the FSA

Also a painter etc....
I did a search for ben photographer and got a ton of websites for photographers with the first name of Ben.
Hope that helps

Would you like to use one of mine? Just call me Ben "Paul" Sorensen.

If you will pay enough, I can have my name legally changed!

Um, hello?

Um, hello?

Damn, I knew someone would beat me to it.

I just got home and checked the panoramic by the "Ben" I mentioned this morning. The photographer's full name is Ben Sheffield, has anyone ever heard of him?

The photo I have is dated 1909 and the scene is a herd of Elk in the western US or perhaps even Alaska? It's a beauty measuring about 10x36"

uhmmmmmmmmmm..... */hustle, hustle, hustle
my official nickname is ben, even BIG and BLUE, all in one convenient package .

But you would have to wait a little for the show ... call me back in about 10 or 20 years, then I might (make that SHOULD) be famous, stinking rich, excentric beyond belief, and only do art on the weekends on PBS
