Michael Geschlecht Posted February 20, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 20, 2013 Hello Everybody, Thank you okram. Well, it would appear there is a big red dot where the frame illumination window should be.

Jeffry Abt Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted February 20, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes! That is the photo. Looked more closely ( with my old hand magnifying glass) that is a Leica 35mm lux on the camera. But what is the camera? Did Leica get a M-240 to Araki? I don't like his work much, but he is a Pro and no Hack. Thanks for the find okram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted February 20, 2013 Share #8 Posted February 20, 2013 Looks like a Chrome M-240 from what I see. Leica logo is in the right place for the M-240. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted February 20, 2013 Share #10 Posted February 20, 2013 Hello Paul, If that is an M7 why is there a red dot where the frame illumination window should be? Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted February 20, 2013 Share #11 Posted February 20, 2013 I have met Nobuyoshi. I can assure you it's an M7. The illumination window is where it has always been. On the other side of the dot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted February 20, 2013 Share #12 Posted February 20, 2013 Look at the screw mount on the hotshoe. Its in the right position for the M7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted February 20, 2013 Share #14 Posted February 20, 2013 Hello Everybody, There is also a battery compartment cover as is appropriate for an M7. Thanx for the correction all. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rscheffler Posted January 16, 2015 Share #18 Posted January 16, 2015 rm409 - Nobuyoshi Araki on 'the dry brightness' of digital... "I have no plans to start taking pictures with a digital camera. I feel that the process of processing films and working in the dark room adds another layer to an image’s subject and to reality. I find that sexy. Even with a woman, I find that when she hides a bit of herself, it’s more revealing. It’s just slightly more attractive than being butt naked." Nobuyoshi Araki 2010 "Humidity and darkness are very important elements in photography, so you have to be careful with digital cameras because they sort of kill those elements, I say. I, too, use them, sort of recording things in everyday life for fun, though. Photography needs to be sentimental. That dry brightness that digital cameras create, that’s not sentimental at all. Colors created with the three primary colors have a very simple impact, but there’s a melancholy at the same time. Colors don’t turn out the way you want them to be, that’s what so good about them. Perfect colors are not to be researched like that. For example, red. Red of the first menstrual period. The red sky during war. Vague reds and seeping red. The perfect red is different in everyone. Digital cameras easily ignore those sorts of delicate senses and feelings of Japanese coloring. To be extreme, you look at black and say, it’s red. That’s art. Creating ripples among people is what art does and its the density of art, but before that, you have to feel the ripple in yourself. It’s not exciting because there are stupid guys that ignore that, trying to figure out how to create real colors. They say, ‘If you use this digital camera, you can take a clear picture in the dark’. The dark should stay dark. You can’t really see that much, and you don’t really want to see that much anyway.” Nobuyoshi Araki 2006 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted January 18, 2015 Share #19 Posted January 18, 2015 Bonkers. Not sure I'd be happy to have him as a neighbour .... and no wonder he processes his photos alone in the dark ...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wk Posted January 18, 2015 Share #20 Posted January 18, 2015 I think I would be happy to have him as a neighbor. He probably throws the best parties! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
