I doubt, even if the negatives are Adams', they're worth such an obscene amount of money for the reason given in the article and by his grandson: Negatives, especially the way Adams approached them, don't contain the photo. Without Adams doing the printing, it's simply not an Adams photos.

It's not worth it. At all. It has matrix metering and i-TTL on a film body, and that's the only thing that sets it apart. If you have a particular film that you love shooting and think it could benefit from those features, it's the body for you. ...pretty niche, hence the insane price.

guidoanselmi posted:So I'm very seriously contemplating going to Japan in March. There are some great used shops, especially for film and medium/large format, but again don't expect too many deals, especially if you don't speak Japanese. On the plus side, anything you buy used is in impeccable condition. The best way to find them is to pick up a copy of Asahi Camera (magazine) and check for ads. You'll need someone with decent Japanese to read the addresses, though some have maps. The used store Helmacron is referencing in Ginza may be Lemon Camera. Pretty well known, and they sell lots of gray market stuff. Also, I was last in these camera stores in 2007, things may have changed since then.

That X100 looks pretty slick, but for $1100, no way, especially since I already have a 35mm on my FX body. I know, not the same thing, but I'll hold on to the $1100 and take the camera places.

Arguments about whether or not anyone could have made photograph 'X' aside, the point is, they did it and you didn't. If it's that easy, shut up and go make these supposedly simple photos and make a great living/become well known.

Anyone ever heard of http://www.wooloo.org/ ? I've received three emails from people there in the past 6 months or so wanting me to join, each one seemingly more personalized (that last one discussing specific projects I've done). I can't tell if this is actually something that would get me shows/buyers/clients or not. It is free, though.

Yeah, here it is posted from an email I sent to a friend about three days later. This happened in June of 2007. ---- First the location: Near an airport. I'm aware that lots of people think it's a bad idea, or looks suspicious, to photograph airplanes. That's okay. It is not, however, illegal to photograph commercial airliners. There's a nice site devoted to the very professional pursuit thereof: airliners.net I was parked in a gravel entry to a field. Across the street from me was the airport with high barbed wire fence. I was parked there for about 30 minutes, photographing, and later walked further down the road about 100 yards to get a better line on the airplanes as they approached. I had one body on a tripod with a long lens and a second camera with a wide angle lens. About 20 minutes later, as I was getting tired of waiting on some interesting planes, I noticed a truck moving in the airport very far away and driving quickly. I said to myself as a joke "I bet they're coming for me!" Then the truck got to the gate near me. Then the truck stopped at my car. At no point did I ever look directly at the vehicle; I knew what I was going was legal. If they wanna check it out, fine. But I wasn't interested in volunteering myself for anything. So, I turned my back to the road and started taking some photos with the wide angle. I heard a truck drive up to me slowly then speed off as it passed. It went down the road, turned around, and did it again. Then it parked about 40 feet beyond my car watched me. A few minutes later there are flashing lights near my car. I started paying attention at this point, and that's also when the police car sped toward me. The officer got out of his car and asked me what I was doing. I'll give some dialogue, most of it verbatim. Cop: Now what do you think you're doing out here? Me: Photographing airplanes. Cop: Why are you doing that? Me: Well, it's challenging. I've never done it before, and I just got this new lens and camera so I wanted to try it. Cop: You don't think that's a bad idea, with everything going on right now? Me: *Speechless* So he frisked me and gave me the usual "Who are you?" etc. I slipped up big time, though. He asked me where I worked and I said I didn't have a job, I had only recently moved back to America. poo poo. I saw the glimmer in his eye as he thought he got him one of 'dem terrists. The background here is boring, but suffice to say he didn't seem to believe much of my reasons why I had been outside the country. Oddly enough, throughout my entire time with him he doubted everything I said EXCEPT that I had lived outside the country. He seemed to really latch on to that one. Basically believing whatever fit the narrative he had already created. He kept asking me why I was doing this, if I thought it was a bad idea. I said no, if people really wanted photographs of airplanes for devious purposes they wouldn't stand near a busy road and photograph them, they'd get them off the internet or from a book. Then came the doozy. "You don't remember 9/11? You don't remember what happened there? That could happen again, here!" If I had a pistol I would have splattered my brains across the top of his patrol car. Finally he asked me for my driver's license. I didn't it on me, as it was in my car. He thought this was weird... but I wasn't driving; why would I be compelled to make sure I had my driver's license? So I had given him all my information orally, most importantly my social security number. He called in the usual background check or whatever it is cops do. And then things went to poo poo. They had no record of me. Anywhere. At this pointed I was on the verge of panicking. Why the hell couldn't they find any record of me? I gave him my information many, many, times. He double-checked. Triple-checked. Nothing. I did not exist. For about 20 minutes he was calling people and finding out where to take me for the FBI. The building, the floor, the office number. He was talking about how long they were going to have to detain me. I know now, thinking a bit more clearly, that he didn't know a damned thing about how the FBI worked, but sitting in the back of a police car, being called everything short of a terrorist, and not being able to prove you are who you say you are has it's ways of loving with your mind. He keeps asking me why I was living abroad. What I was doing. Why I was doing it? Am I sure I'm not in the military? He really thinks I look like I'm in the military. I don't know why but the fact that I was so far from my car caused a problem, or at least was important enough that he had to keep mentioning it to everyone he spoke to. He finally decided to take me back there to get my driver's license. He packed up my camera gear and we went back. Before opening my car he had a good look inside with his flashlight and walked around it a bit. He got my license number and ran it. I waited. I sweated. A lot. I existed. The call came back that my license was valid. He had another vehicle bring paperwork to write me a parking ticket. As it turns out, I was parked illegally. There were signs I had not seen in my haste to get in a better position. I'll state now that I couldn't care less about the parking ticket and I deserved it. He sounded a tad disappointed that I came back with no criminal record on numerous databases. After some guffawing and chit-chatting (for about 15 minutes) with the other guys, I was released with a ticket. He "had" to file a "supplemental" report with the FBI detailing what happened and my background. He mentioned that the FBI didn't "think it was a good idea" that I was photographing airplanes either. He joked with some people on the phone: "That's what I said! Why not go take some pictures of some girls or something to test it out, you know, make those pictures interesting!" He said that the airport owned the land I was on, but I was about 7 feet from the side of the road, and there was a fence indicating a property line another 5 feet behind me. I was under the impression that the road and the land around it to any fence was considered public property, and nobody has said otherwise. He also said the airport owned the field next to me, but I don't necessarily believe him. In any case, I wasn't past the fence and therefore I believe on public property. He departed. I got a call about an hour later: "I didn't get your eye color. Okay, and your hair? And you're sure you've never been in the military?" At no point did anyone ever say that what I was doing was illegal. From the officer's demeanor, the things he was mentioning on the phone repeatedly, and the questions he was asking me, it seemed to boil down to the following. I was doing something he didn't agree with or understand. I had been out of the country. I wasn't in the military, but I looked like it. He had a badge, so he was going to do something about it because he had "never had one of these before." I flew to Minneapolis last week, so apparently the FBI things I'm a red-blooded Amerakun and am safe. I'm also well-aware he did more than one thing that he shouldn't have. He should have asked for my ID immediately. He could not take my cellphone. He could not open my car. He could not keep me in the rear of the car without a charge. Of course, all of that goes out the window when it's he and I in a courtroom, his word against mine, and the suspicions that I was a "t-word" floating in the air. God Bless America.

Of course, had I been photographing random women with a long lens I'm sure I would have had people on my rear end a lot faster and for a more legitimate reason. I still remember that officer's name and badge number.

INTJ Mastermind posted:Dont talk to the police. All you need is to identify yourself. Then ask if you're free to go. If not ask if you're under arrest. If so ask on what charges and demand a lawyer. If not ask again if you're free to go. The only things out of your mouth should be "Am I free to go?" and "I want a lawyer." But let's face it: if a cop is set on doing something, he's gonna loving do it then sort it out in the court while getting overtime and with the entire department and police union at his back. In a rural Oklahoma field with just a cop that thinks I'm a terrorist? Sorry, gonna answer some questions. I didn't have medical insurance.

William T. Hornaday posted:Well, I just talked to the director of HR and he's almost as bad as everyone else. Despite the fact that I brought a printout of the relevant passages of Title 17 and explained what work-for-hire entails, the company apparently still feel that not only do they have complete and total ownership on anything that I've taken on the clock (which is not the case with 99% of my photos), but that anything taken on my weekends from public areas with my own equipment fall into some sort of gray area and are still somehow partially theirs due to me being employed by them (on other days of the week) and the photos having some value/interest to the company. It sucks. Moral of the story: Work and photos don't mix in any way whatsoever. e: Unless you have a contract that has been reviewed by your attorney.
