Speaking Frankly Five decades after the publication of The Americans in1959, the iconic stature of this modern classic and its maker, Robert Frank, endures. So completely did he change the course of modern photography that the designations “before Frank” and “after Frank” are commonplace in describing photography’s timeline, while the canon of materials devoted to Frank and his works grows steadily. But never until now has Frank allowed, and participated in, so complete an investigation into his masterpiece as Looking In: Robert Frank’s “The Americans,” organized by the National Gallery of Art. This unparalleled exhibition opened in Washington D.C. in January— just in time for inaugural crowds —traveled west to the San Francisco Museum of Art... _______ The Collection Another great image we have in The Collection is this one by Cyrus Karimipour. In this collection there are about 600-700 pieces, some of which are already featured in Red Dog Journal. On this page we will have a Feature Print, which will sell for 10% lower than its advertised price (print/mat only). These prints are all in excellent condition, unless other wise noted.
Cyrus Karimipour (7-537) This image is not framed, but is large. If you live in the New Mexico area and can drive to Albuquerque to pick it up, the price is the same. We do not ship framed pieces, but will remove them from the frame for shipment. Please email me for additional information. You can view selected images at Incognito Gallery. |
The Darlow Report Greetings! More>>> The Poor Man's Digital Leica? I’ll get to the bottom line right away. It’s a pretty impressive package. What is the appeal of this camera? If you are one of those shooters who, like myself, spent a good bit of time in the 1960s with an old Leica (and believe me, mine was “old” even in the ‘60s) and miss the “digital equivalent” of a similar form factor with interchangeable lenses and image quality better than 35mm film (can you say Tri-X 400), then you will probably like the GF1. If you are one of those photographers who just wants a smaller form factor than the DSLR you’re currently carrying, but have been put off by the current crop of point-and-shoot cameras due to slow autofocus, shutter lag, high ISO noise levels, and overall compromised image quality (compared to your DSLR), then you too will probably find the GF1 of interest. If you are looking for good image quality in a relatively inconspicuous (compared to a DSLR) “street” camera for personal projects and travel, you will likely find the GF1 appealing.
