Randy,Update and Digital

[rssilverandlight]

I wanted to say hello to my fellow photographers on Our Paris
Forum and give you a well deserved update. I retired last July
(with 40 years in the business), we sold our house and are
living in our condo, 5 miles from SFO. I sold the cameras I used to
publish my book, THE FRENCH LANDSCAPE, because infrared
film has been discontinued. I converted my Nikon D200 to
digital B&W infrared and am getting back to where I was.
We will be traveling to Paris in mid-September so if anyone will
be there, do send me a message.
Take very good care,
Randy

Randy, good to hear from you . Congratulations on your retirement. Enjoy every second of it!

A few of us will be in Paris in September and October. There is a big GTG at Annette's new apartment and Le Reminet on the 8th of October. Hope you will still be around and can join us. There is a long post about it. Check it out

Hello Randy! I've been thinking about you (can't help it, your book is displayed on my desk where I sit at the computer every day!). Thanks for checking in Congratulations on your retirement! Maybe we'll see you in Paris?!

Friends with a summer home in Massachusettes sent me s box
of old cameras they found in a relative's attic.
Given the fact that I am a 3rd generation photographer
(grandfather, mother and me) having just retired after
40 year in the business, I thought I would recognize
some of them. Initially the only thing I recognized
was the lens cleaning tissue

We have come aways in cameras over the past 100 years.

Well Randy, now that you are retired you can visit OP more often...and I hope you will continue to share your technical expertise with us OP Paris photographers! ;D

Hi sistereurope,
Glad to hear from you, I will be happy to share and respond
to information and questions.
I now have 2 digital cameras left. The Nikon D300 for color
and the Nikon D200 for B&W Infrared .
Since B&W Infared film is no longer made, the only way to capture
B&W infrared images is to convert a digital camera to IR.
If anyone is interested, let me know and I pass info along.
18 infrared images from my book "THE FRENCH LANDSCAPE:
Images of a Special Light" can be seen on my website

Thank you Annette for your lovely compliments about my book, The French Landscape: Images of a Special Light.

I'm not sure if I told you about a woman from NY.
She wrote and told me that as soon as the book was
published, she was going to buy a coffee table to
put under it.
