Hermann Krone (Germany's first academic photo teacher)

Toys for the Boys... No, that does not seem to be a fireplace...

I found another photographer and his camera, the camera looks a lot like Andreas Feininger's

But it'll have to wait until end of the current round of "guess that photographer" (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

jnanian guessed, here's George Ponting with a camera that must have inspired Andreas Feininger...

Does

The Anonymous Photographer

count as nerdy?

Looking at the size of those lenses he needs to hire a window cleaner.

I thought this was supposed to feature APUG members!

I may have missed that in the OP, but here's Valerie. (And yes, it was posed ...)

Here is a couple -- the classic Joel Meterowitz with his 8x10 on the back cover of Cape Light. A little nerdy -- and left off of later editions of the book.

The second one I took (5x7 contact print) -- a photographer posing with her Deardorf Special (w/ 450mm lens) at Joshua Tree. Can't be nerdy when looking that good!

 

[Eric Rose]

Great stuff and very nerdy too.

I only learned of Chansonetta and her endeavors as a photographer after acquiring an original portrait of her daughter Dorothy Emmons taken by J. E. Purdy of Boston for my portrait collection.

I don't know why I haven't heard of this museum. I'm about 85 miles from it and I'm on vacation this week so I'm going to check it out! Thanks!

Eric:

I just couldn't believe that it was you who started this thread!

In case others don't know why I say this, I'd suggest you search through the threads started by Eric that include "WARNING" in the thread title.

A nerdy photo of me posing with my 11x14...showing off my new t-shirt...and a couple more of me posing by my camera(s). One taken during a workshop I was giving in Yosemite and the other done by my nephew (outstanding in the field)

Your welcome! I guess. There's an actual museum?

Found this image of a few photographers showing off their hardware. I stumbled across this while researching a WWI era Aviar aerial lens that was attached to a 12x10 camera that I recently purchased.

If you think your camera is heavy.

Oh my! Actually I didn't notice any cameras ......

 

[AgX]

I like that toe shutter-tripping.

Quite more charming than my size 10 foot tripping that rubber bulb.

 

[DWThomas]

Oh screw it .... I have no discipline .....




(or modesty!)

Contact prints of three photos taken on Fuji HR-T X-ray film with that camera just made it into a local juried show.
(One got a prize, so by Zeus, I am an AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER!!! :munch: )

Sigh
Claims to fame are so fleeting ...

Wayne Miller took this photo of Steichen with a Nikon rangefinder.

At first glance it just looks like a picture of a photographer with a camera.

But then when you realize his eye isn't where it should be for viewing... why is his eye where it is?

For the composition. There's four circles in a row. Strong vertical of the tripod leg. Angles of the tripod lead pleasingly to the edge of the frame.

Very nicely done...

Margaret Bourke White shooting on the Chrysler Building where she had fashion studio before WW11 http://barbarainwonderlart.com/wp-c...garet-bourke-white-chrysler-building-1934.jpg or this one where she flew with high altitude bombing missions from North Africa to Italy and the Balkans http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2004/06/08/132311/TLF730270.jpg.

Sadly, she died recently.

This one was taken at the end of long day when we pooped out and looked it; my friend Mel on the left and me on the right. It was part of a DVD and was the last picture, of course, hence the text, "Let's Rest."

That's you on the right? That's a great Tony Soprano look you've got there - wish I looked like that.

Bunny Yeager and her cameras.

Thanks for this.

I had never heard of her before. A very interesting and influential photographer.

I'd imagine that her shot of Ursula Andress in the white bikini has been hung on a lot more walls than anything HCB or AA ever took a picture of....

 

[Theo Sulphate]

Apparently this is what started it all: the first time I touched a camera.

I've scoured the Kodak collector sites trying to find this model, but I no longer think it's a Kodak. It's probably a simple box camera from Sears or a similar store.
