Post photos of photographers with their cameras

[Eric Rose]

Almost every posed photograph I see of a photographer with his camera is so nerdy and/or uncool. There must be some good ones out there! Post them if you can find them. Believe me it will be a challenge Photos of photographres in action don't count. Just posed stuff. Here is one that I think is nerdy. Obviously someone asked HCB to pose with his camera and his disdain for the whole thing shows through.

Not sure how this contributes to the thread.

Eric... that is the nerdiest picture of a photographer with his/her camera... of all times. Distain indeed!

This one of Carl Weese is pretty nerdy. It's suppose to look like he is studiously taking a photo, but you can see he doesn't have a film back in the camera. That and the vacant look, classic photographer portrait.

Beyond that I love his photography.

At least Karsh had the foresight to close his shutter...

Or how about this one of St. Ansel that looks like a product placement shot?

Where is the camera? Not picking on you, honest.

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."



Me only.

Is this nerdy enough for you?

Here's one that I always think of... By Andreas Feininger

And just to show Andreas Feininger with HIS camera...

I'm reading one of his books where he gives instructions how to build it. It's a great read.

The Andreas Feininger is a classic.
I think it is the cover of one of his books that I have somewhere.

Yes! And, I've always liked this one at the top of the Chrysler building.

Yes! And, I've always liked this one at the top of the Chrysler building.

She was mainly a fashion photographer in those days and had a studio in the Chrysler building.

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)

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.
