The Coffee House

Really? What was he like?

He was quite likable. It was the late 70's and he was still giving workshops. A few of us photogs decided it would be cool to go do a story on the guy, so we all went up to Yosemite. He was very gracious and we, (the collective group of three news photogs), chatted off and on with him for a few days and we shared some meals. He did reveal/admitted that when he was younger he was a real a$$hole. He was shooting Hasselblad when we were there.

That can be the start for a great new year. Happy New Year Marija. Now that you can drink wine, you need to explore California.

Happy happy Grumphy!

You're totally right! I sooo neeeed to explore California!!!

Morning hosers! Home Sweet Home, at last!! Unpacking as I type! Like Sharon said, a solo vacation can be a wonderful idea!!

Well, it's certainly MORNING, and it's certainly Monday, I'll give it that.

Guten morgen fellow Hosers. Gary, that's pretty freaking awesome. I would have loved to do one of his workshops.

As for me, it's a balmy -7* F here. Random nosebleeds FTW!

I didn't do a workshop. Just went up and chatted with him and did a story.

Still, either would have been an awesome experience, I imagine.

Much of the time was spent in Yosemite. Which in and of itself is spectacular. So Adams in Yosemite you've just hit a grand slam.

I'm quite jealous. I've seen Peter Lik in person, but didn't get to talk to him at all. Someday maybe I'll catch him and get a chance to talk to him.

In other news, developing a roll of film that I apparently half ruined. Horribly overexposed or something. I think the fact that the camera's battery was almost dead has something to do with that.

Hey hosers.

The only photographer of note that I know is a Slovenian - Joco Znidarsic. He was Tito's official photographer. He doesn't have too much of a web presence but look him up on Google images. Most of the pictures are of him or by him.

In the meantime, here's a picture of our hotel's porch cat!

Andrej's got a print of the first picture on this site:
Izložba: Joco Žnidaršič – I feel Slovenia | Fotografija.hr

I have a signed copy of his book on the Lipizzan horses and one of his book called Bohinj (a lake in NW Slovenia where he lives). They're outstanding. I'm fairly certain he was still shooting with his Hassy for both of the books, though he does shoot digital now.

 

[minicoop1985]

Dammit, I screwed up half my roll. Still got some shots from the first half.

6 am and I am on the bus. To get up at 5.15 and have a cup of coffee or to sleep for 5 more min and drink it in the office? This is the question
