New B&W Portrait Book Shot with M3

"Light On The South Side"

 

Had the rare chance to meet a talented Photographer who somewhat unsolicitedly has recently published a Book of Plates from the mid 70's shot with an M3, and Flash. A PBS intro was done some time ago, subsequent to a Chicago Tribune Magazine Article. The Presentation at the Chicago Cultural Center was proctored by an old friend. When the Q & A wrapped the Interview, and slide show, I asked the Photographer what gear he used to get the very candid shots, Called "Light on the South Side", and he lamented that he had used an M3 exclusively with Tri-X, and a special Process he recalls fondly.

The book is comprised of 100 candids, of a collection of about 5000.

 

He sadly and regrettably told me the story of how he just sold off all of his Leica Film gear -- A transaction he regrets greatly. He is a Pro Photographer, who likely would not have got close to these shots with the Huge Nikon D3x he lugs around.

He mentioned he may get back into Leica with an M9.

In any case... I thought everyone may like to check out his Book, Article, and PBS blurb.

The book is published with a double LP Vinyl Set of Music which would have lined the Juke Box of this Proto-Disco Nightclub.

 

This is my first post so please let me know if I did this wrong, or if this was not appropriate.

 

Cheers
