A talent. Whereas the loss of you will be????
Wait , I have the answer. THe loss of Randall Ainusworth is IMPERCEPTABLE! Like losing a wart, or a melanoma, the loss of Randall Ainsworth in the digital forum did wonders for the pleasure of the experience, and now losing him in the 35mm forum will make the pleasure complete. So long, loser. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from my novel "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "Randall Ainsworth" wrote in message ...

Sad news. His pictures may have been controversial but no one could
argue with his talent. The fact that "hot, young, avant garde" shooters of the last 20 years have mostly recycled his ideas is pretty much an indication of how great he was. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from my novel "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "davidb" wrote in message om...

"Nicholas O. Lindan" wrote in message nk.net... Then you may want to check out his work, and then you may understand why some folks (at least two) do not mourn his passing. So I did. But I'm not one to put down someone just because I "don't get" their vision. Not really my cuppa but is that any reason to be disrespectful of him (or of his work)? CC |

Wow. The man was a legend. Some of you say you never heard of him. Yet you
call yourselves photographers? He was an incredible artist with his camera. I may have been a little squeamish about some of his photographs but I could never say that any one of them was not shot and printed incredibly well. Can't believe anyone would post here and not be embarrassed to admit they never heard of the man. pathetic. "davidb" wrote in message om... Not sure where to post this...

I certainly heard of him and often saw displays of his shots in Amateur
Photographer and other magazines. Not the kind of piccies I like, but he knew what he was doing. Very talented. |

Hmm... that's where John Belushi OD'd. Yeah, but Newton was in his 80's....Due to go at any time anyway.....The accident just saved him from the weeks of suffering that many of us get as our, "reward" for living a just life...... |

I hadn't heard of him...but I can assure you that this particular detail renders me neither a better nor worse photographer. Your particular and demonstrated form of snobbery is indeed "pathetic", and quite unbecoming. |
