Fourth of July, 2009. Mexican Town wrestling match downtown Detroit. Absolute genius. Finest theater since Shakespeare. It really went to the street and stopped traffic. Here, a baby sleeps through the excitement. One day she can say she missed Chuck Wagon beat the tar out of the man in the foreground on Vernor Hwy. Rematch coming Labor Day Weekend.
A recent view out a window into another life of daytime television viewing.
Sent the M8 in to the shop for a shutter and rangefinder mask upgrade. In the meantime pulled out the M6 and loaded some Rollei ScanFilm CN 400. To my horror discovered my old Santa Monica lab is gone. All labs here in Michigan I used to use have been gone for a while already. Looking to NYC for an answer. In the meantime, waiting for Leica and the upgrade.
**Update: arrived yesterday. Have to say new quieter shutter does indeed make a huge difference. Only wish it came installed in the first place…
I’m back in the ASMP Bulletin this Spring 2009, illustrating a feature on “Scaling The Walls Of A Lousy Economy”. Page 18. Of course it’s also the cover image of my American Tour photobook (available for free download: www.mvlimbert.com/AmTourCover.html). Additionally in this ASMP Spring issue is a roundup of Print-On-Demand services, as well as interviews with those photogs who who use ’em.
More scenes of the exotic, the privileged, the well-to-do. How the other half smokes. Lexington Ave., NYC, 2009.
Look for my images in the April 09 issue of MONOCLE. Editorial covering GM Tech Center and the Volt. Here, a tear sheet from the issue and a couple outtakes from the session. Go to www.monocle.com for more info.
Updade: Uploaded the remainders & extras from 2009’s Chevy Volt shoot (for Monocle Magazine) to my account at ALAMY.
A fantastic sale in Royal Oak stopped me in my tracks. Fought the crowds, learned a few dance steps from the inflated arrow man in the lot.
Finished an editorial shoot for Monocle Magazine at the GM Tech Center, focusing on the VOLT. Issue out in April. Will post tearsheet images as soon as it is out. Stay tuned.
Three sides that is. From last May at Meteor Crater in AZ. One of those shots that’s just plain lucky. Triangles are everywhere, from the space capsule, to the man’s stride on the left, to the back of the blue jean jacket, to the shrub, to the slope of the hill in background…and a couple more.
A bit of “hotel reportage” from Hamburg 29.06.2008, now posted as a PDF download on my site: http://www.mvlimbert.com/GermSpainCOV.html. The agony of defeat from EURO 2008 Football Championship Finals.
