Was notified that one of my flag images below from Eastside School has been chosen to be shown at Black Cloud Gallery in Chicago (1909 South Halsted) as part of The Filter Photo Festival’s “Beginnings: Stories and Starting Points” Opening reception is Oct. 14, 2011…see you there.
Update: shots below from the opening:
The M9 is backordered – although ordered – and the 35mm is still at Leica NJ for calibration and restoration (since January). If anyone is interested, the M8 (with new M8.2 shutter and corrected framelines) may soon be on ebay.
UPDATE: the M9 arrived but like so many things in life that have to be done at least 2 times before it can be right), it went back with a sensor/processor error and should be back next week. 35mm lens back and now wonderfully accurate. A difference of night & day.
And all of them were out this last weekend due to extremely pleasant temps in the 70s. Mr. Softies were on patrol as well. Now if we can just find this dog and cat a home we’d be in business.
Reminds me a little of this “portrait” I did years ago for a friend…
Consider it returned.
Was tying my shoe when I got the feeling I was being watched…surveillance camera on a pole in front of a painted pair of eyes, 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica, California.
Finally, a few selects from last year’s International Bigtime Wrestling event in Mexicantown, Detroit. There was wonderful food, fake blood (no really), fantastic showmanship, and some menacing escaped convicts just hanging out with the kids. Originally posted about this back in July, 2009.
Go to www.mvlimbert.com for an index.
Finally, the old Summicron-M 2/35 is getting a much needed tune up at Leica NJ: focus calibration, focus mount fix, general cleaning and the all-new 6 bit coding. Got it used in 2000 (I think) in Kalamazoo and really never had it checked out. I remember screwing down a loose base plate in ’04 with tweezers “in the field” in Ketchum, ID. 4-6 weeks ETA.
Uploaded the remainders & extras from 2009′s Chevy Volt shoot (for Monocle Magazine) to my account at ALAMY. Some good images that haven’t yet seen the light of day. Available for EDITORIAL use.
At the counter of an area Coney Island. A hint of health behind (or in front of) every chili cheese fry and coney dog.
