The Photography Of Seimon Pugh Jones

[Eyemo]

Hi P51,
I would describe the book (as it does itself, in fact) as a good starting point on this subject. If your thinking of writing something yourself, I certainly would not stop the project because of this books availability…I haven’t the book at hand at the moment, so can’t give you an in depth review, but I would certainly recommend having it…if only because Reference books on Correspondents are few and far between.

Cheers,
Seimon.

I just ordered a copy of the book and paid a little extra for the air mail shipping option. Amazon doesn't have it at all and I couldn't find any US vendor selling them. Had it not been for that eBay listing mentioning this book, I still wouldn't know about it. As for my own idea for a book, I still might try it eventually. I wrote a article on Correspondents for Army motors (the magazine for the MVPA) which should be out sometime this spring: http://www.mvpa.org/?addr=http://www.mvpa.org/pubs/armymotors.htm

All pics shot on that medium format...Film stuff.

Having been a slides shooter for several years and now into digital SLRs, I find middle format very fascinating... Our wedding photos were taken by a photographer mith a Mamiya (spelling?) middle format camera and they came out so brilliantly, no comparison to the comparable DSLR pics. Maybe I should take a closer look at film again...of course not expecting to get results anywhere near yours, but these fascination shots really serve as a good inspiration! Apart from their technical perfection, they really tell a story and clearly show the difference between "photography" and "snapshots" (in German, these terms are often used as synonyms which drives me crazy...).

I am planning to do a photo session somewhere later this year, combining my favourite topics, historic aviation and automobiles. If OK I will ask you for some hints when the time has come? I have no experience at all photographing people, so got a lot to learn...

Cheers,
Tom
