Hey - if you have Netflix, gotta a recommendation for you and Reggie.

Adventure of Photography (two discs) and Contacts (three discs).

Watched them over the past weekend - the first is ok - there's some
interesting historical background and images in both of them, but
Contacts is great.

Also have something else I need to talk to you and Reggie about, but I
just haven't had time to get my thoughts together. Probably this
afternoon.

Expect an email.


Roger that. I don't subscribe to Netflix, but I'm being cajoled into doing
so by Mrs. G. I looked up those titles on Amazon, and at $35-40 per disc,
rental is the way to go. Re photography shows, I enjoy watching Art Wolfe's
"Travels to the Edge" on PBS. Art's a photog out of Seattle that is
sponsored by Cannon. He's fortunate to travel to all sorts of interesting
places around the globe and shoot them with very expensive gear.
Unfortunately, the show doesn't really get into any of the technical stuff,
but it succeeds at least as well as a travel show as much as a photography
show, due to the fab locations.

I've seen some of his images - I totally agree.

If you get a chance, look up Sebastiao Salgado on the Intertubes.
