50 cent enablement

2011-05-15 Thread Bruce Walker
I dropped in on a Knights of Columbus fund-raising book sale yesterday. 
Bought a few fiction paperbacks and such, but I acquired a real gem: 
Photographing The World Around You, A Visual Design Workshop by Freeman 
Patterson.  I've read a few chapters and it's already inspiring me to 
try some ideas.


Fifty cents -- can't beat it. :-)

Those little Freeman Patterson books are gems. Great inspiration to go
out and shoot.

I was curious to see if I could locate any videos of or with Freeman
Patterson and the only one I came across is the following:

Patterson's work mostly predates ubiquitous video, his books were
mostly written from the 70's through early 90's.

Interesting to note that based on that video he's still shooting film.
Patterson is known for almost never discussing gear and specifically
never mentioning what gear he uses beyond basics like 'a macro lens'
or 'a wide angle lens'. The brief bit with him out shooting shows that
he's using a Minolta Maxxum 7 (which has a status LCD on the back,
like a DSLR, one of many ideas Minolta pioneered in the AF era).

-Adam
Who currently shoots with a pair of Maxxum 7's.
