1980-1990's Seattle - Washington (WA) - Seattle and King County Suburbs - City-Data Forum

1980-1990's Seattle - Washington (WA) - Seattle and King County Suburbs - City-Data Forum

I hope somebody discovers my whole collection of Seattle and Tacoma work and shares it with others. I was just in the Seattle and Tacoma area two weeks ago doing some more wandering and exploring. My goal will be to create a document of Seattle and Tacoma that will express a specific moment in time, that will confirm and reinforce peoples memories. All the original negatives, prints, and current digital files are available at the Tacoma Public Library. You can contact Robert Schuler at the Northwest Room and Special Collections. His email is rschuler@tpl.lib.wa.us .

Hiroshima: The Lost Photographs: Observatory: Design Observer
This is an amazing story, about the photographs, how the photographs were found, and in the end, about the power of photography to express what happens.

The New Breed of Documentary Photographers

The New Breed of Documentary Photographers

This is an excellent site to explore. I love The Bangladesh Project. It is a flash based gallery, but if you have Flash it is a wonderful collection of photographs. Makes me want to go there.

The Visual Science Lab: Examining Modern Mythologies about Camera Equipment. Part One. Intro.

The Visual Science Lab: Examining Modern Mythologies about Camera Equipment. Part One. Intro.

Equipment sanity! Worth reading and thinking about. I have to agree, but somethings, like the quality of the viewfinder and the auto-focus are still worth upgrading. I have been using the Panasonic Lumix G1, which is a very different kind of camera, this summer and love it. I sold my Nikon D700 and Nikon lenses, even if the quality of the files was amazing. It was just too large for me.

There are many memories in these ads. I started reading camera magazines in 1967. I also found many old magazines in used book stores. I can remember many of these ads. I can remember wanting many of the cameras advertised. Fun times!
