Yousuf Karsh died on 13 July 2002, born in Mardin in Turkish Armenia (Ottoman Empire) he moved to Canada and became one of the most famous portrait photographers in the world.
"If it‘s a likeness, alone, it‘s not a success. If, through my portraits, you can come to know the subjects more meaningfully, if it synthesizes your feelings toward someone whose work has imprinted itself on your mind—-if you see a photograph and say, ‘Yes, this is the person‘, with a little new insight--that is a beautiful experience."

"A man once told me that his dog was half pit bull and half poodle. He claimed that it wasn't much good as a guard dog, but it was a vicious gossip."

| | May 14, 2009 | Bill Jay (1940-2009) | | | | Sadly Bill Jay, the noted photo-historian, passed away on May 10, 2009 at Samara in Costa Rica. I remember telephoning Bill in San Diego just before his move to Costa Rica in May 2008 - we chatted about photo-history and his retirement plans. As always he was sharing of his vast knowledge of the field even though he had been ill for a long time and got tired easily. He will be greatly missed and there is a fuller tribute .

| | May 14, 2009 | Catching up… | | | | I've been very busy on another photography project and so I've been a little quiet on Luminous-Lint for the last month or so. I'll start going through all the email soon and get things back on track as there are a lot of projects underway. Apologies for the slow replies, Alan.

| | Apr 19, 2009 | Antoine François Jean Claudet | | | |
Antoine François Jean Claudet (1797-1867) was one of the great early stereo Daguerreotypists in London along with William Edward Kilburn (1818-1891) and Richard Beard (1802-1885). One of the images in this exhibition, Portrait of a lady (LL/11146) , looks more like a work by Beard rather than Claudet and I'd welcome further information on it.
I'd like to hear from institutions or collectors who have some of the experimental stereo photographs by the Claudet family that they used for calibration and testing. If anybody has a biography of Antoine Claudet that they would be willing to share even better.

| | Apr 2, 2009 | David Moore: 100 Photographs | | | |
David Moore (1927-2003) was Australia’s most renowned photojournalist leaving a legacy of over 200,000 negatives. In the 1950s his photographs were widely published in newspapers and magazines including The Observer, Time-Life, Look, The New York Times and Sports Illustrated. In 1958 he joined Black Star, a photo agency based in New York. Numerous books have been published of his work and many of his photographs have become iconic images of Australia.
I'd like to thank David's daughter Lisa Moore who runs The David Moore Estate (Marrickville NSW, Australia) for her enthusiastic support for this exhibition and Alan Davies of The State Library of NSW, Australia who prepared the informative captions for the original portfolio.
