The Photography Of Seimon Pugh Jones

[Two Gun Bob]

Credit where credit's due, old bean

I haven't got that book, I'll have to check it out. I do have Alan Whicker's book and 'Cameramen at War' which I think you may have, both highly recommended by me.

Cheques in the post Mate..LOL!!. Kinds words Smudger! Thanks.

BTW, Have you got a copy of the new book "Ink and Images" Uniforms and Insignia of War Correspondents and War Photographers?..

Excellent book!
Kind regards,
Seimon

"Armed with Cameras" is also a very good one..

"Inks and Images" and I quote " Is a brief look into the lives of War Photographers and War Correspondents".. A mix of great reference material and personal accounts...Right up your street I think Stuart...

[Eyemo]

Cheers Bud!.. I will take on your suggestion when I do this kind of thing again..:cool2:

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

Seimon, these are truly fantastic! I am completely blown away. Very impressive that you don't use photoshop too...it's absolutely not needed. Except possibly the second shot above - I don't think men back then had stretched earlobes! But talk about a miniscule point in an amazing set of shots. More please!

Remember, back in the day- before die-cut, computer generated, self adhesive vinyl..? Remember when there were sign painters(sign writers)..?

They were good.

Medium format really makes a world of difference.

Remember, back in the day- before die-cut, computer generated, self adhesive vinyl..? Remember when there were sign painters(sign writers)..?

They were good.

That is one trade I would like to learn...I've always had shaky hands and never learned to handle a brush. But the sign men had long brushes with big rubber bulbs to brace against one's chest and prevent any such emergencies.

Besides, each era had its own look in sign painting, just as it did in printed matter and typography. All that is now mostly lost. It is only lore in the trade, seldom ever put into re-creations, movies or tv.

I would do sign painting and letterpress work, another thing I've always appreciated.

Whoa... there is a Rhodri Meilir who was on "MY Family" and did an episode of Doctor Who. Is this him??

No, that's not him,But I do know of the Guy you mean.... My Mate Tony got killed by the (Dr Who) Ood (Spelling?) Tough Guy, it took two to get him!!..LOL!

 

[TessTrueheart]

I love that namne, Rhodri. I just realised I know nothing about Wales. Now I'm off to wikipedia!

 

[Lulu-in-Ny]

No, that's not him,But I do know of the Guy you mean.... My Mate Tony got killed by the (Dr Who) Ood (Spelling?) Tough Guy, it took two to get him!!..LOL!

Ah well... worth a shot.
Very cool to be an extra on Doctor Who- even if an Ood gets ya...
