"HI" The "Tall" magazine for men in 1950's.

"Pretend you're a stringer for your local newspaper today. Make a photo that captures something newsworthy to you."

My domestic interpretation of a Weegee Naked City style photograph.

Sammy Dog got muddy.

I got muddy.

The gear got muddy (thanks Sammy Dog!?!)

WeeGee missed a Scout campout because of a school dance on Friday night. The scouts were going to bike home the next morning and he wanted to bike back with them. I took him out early Saturday morning and dropped him off near the camp and then I had some time for photos!

WeeGee almost made it home before I did. It was Sammy Dogs fault - he got muddy and couldn't get back in the van until he dried off some - I really didn't want him to dry off on me and the camera gear. Stupid Sammy Dog...

First, relax your breathing, then brush aside the curtains in your mind.

A carelessly discarded cigarette led to a blaze which consumed the top two floors of the Greenhouse pub on College Green, Bristol. The resulting fire which started at approximately 3.30pm, required five crews to put it out.

Nobody was injured in the fire, however, the building suffered extensive damage.

Actually, I got there just after the fire crews arrived and before the police and the media. So, in a sense this is a first.

Inspired by the Weegee exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

Chiaroscuro joins the fun in Weegee's Playhouse. Rock on!

35mm b&w gelatin silver print. Weegee reproduction project.

Oh! A Super neat old medium format view/press camera: Busch Pressman 2-1/4x3-1/4, along with a Heiland flash in great shape (the original Light Sabre was made from one of these!).

Everything works. The camera's in lovely shape, with smooth motions, rangefinder coupling (RF windows need cleaning but I do believe it's functioning and with correct lens). Everything locks down tight and the bellows seem to be tight and supple, not creased or buckled. Shutter seems to operate right (to my ear) and the glass is clean and clear. The rollfilm adapter is a wonderful piece of mechanical stuffness. I think you could load this thing up with film today, get some batteries and bulbs for the flash, and to make like Weegee tonight.
