I note the passing of the photographer Herman Leonard, creator of one of my favourite photographic images (above). There are many others.

No doubt this will soon be removed by the blog police.

My favorite is the one of Dexter Gordon..Maybe because I'm more familiar with it than with the others..Otherwise when it comes to atmosphere, black and white is the best..Brassai, Bresson, Weston..
A friend of mine is a photographer who would use nothing but a rather old bronica and produces black and white masterpieces of the Australian outback..

D'accord, TG, black and white is best. I feel the same about films, but then I'm a relic of a bygone age.
