Could this be any more of a loving caress? It’s reminiscent of camera videos for gear geeks. It also serves as a reminder that Rabbit (Mr. Hodges) and all of his contemporaries were young men when their reputations were made. If one needs comparisons, look at early pictures of the Stones, or Dylan; Ansel, or Aaron.

“It’s been disappointing to find that even some of the best candid photographers set up some of their pictures. “But then again, I take artistic liberties after the fact in the darkroom.”

Briefly Free and Open

Once again, two miles or so of Milwaukee Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic for the day tomorrow, Sunday, the 15th. All mannr of activities are planned/allowed. This is the definition of a photo op for street shooters (although one cannot prove it from the available PR pix of previous events) so make it your own.
