Startled expression on his subjects... becasue

"The startled expression worn by many of his subjects was apparently no mistake either. Kenneth Foust, a once frequent patron of Disfarmer's, recalls entering the studio and being hit by "a 'blast' of light or a big reflector that he held in his hand, not sure. I think it flashed, it caught you off guard." Tom Olmstead, who had his portrait taken both as a boy and a young man, remembers not being given any indication as to when Disfarmer was going to take the picture, "no 'cheese' or anything." More likely than not, this was a conscious decision on Disfarmer's part to try to "increase the chances of an uncanned expression or posture," and it is this that lends Disfarmer's portraits their honest, revelatory quality.

引用:

"Born Mike Meyer in 1884, the man who later changed his surname to Disfarmer is surrounded by a cloud of mystery. He was never married, never dated, had no friends, and kept no journals. Even his tombstone, located in Heber Springs, Arkansas, indicates only the year of his birth and death, leaving the day and month blank."

好傳奇! 但其實無形中佢都有朋友~!

引用:

"A price list dated 1928 reveals that customers paid four cents a print. Twenty-seven years later, a 1955 receipt indicates that customers were still paying four cents a print."

對於而家呢個商業社會....

P.S. 不妨直言, 這是我第一篇由頭睇到尾的英文PHOTOGRAPHY 的網頁

, 以前連第一段都未睇哂就會press 右上角的 X icon

. 而今次不是呢一篇吸引我去睇，而是呢排滿腦子想法，所以想多睇外國 (國內) 的攝影知識! (加上要養成睇英文 / 日文的習慣!!

)
所以，K 大以後貼的文章，我也會盡力去完成gar!

多謝支持啊. 你覺得讀得有意思, 那就值得繼續 post 這些文章了.

我個人也十分之喜歡閱讀攝影文章, 尤其是技巧, workflow 方面寫得具體的文章. 以前只可以看書, 上堂 (雖然個人唔 buy 上堂), 現在有 internet, 免費又方面讀取的資訊多的不得了, 我是覺得不好好利用就有點可惜了.
