“There are no words to describe how attached my father was to his Kennedy negatives,” writes Thomasina Lowe, Jacques’ daughter, in the introduction to Remembering Jack, a book published in 2003 on the 40th anniversary of JFK’s assassination. “They defined who he was as a person and as a photographer. Those images were priceless, their value beyond calculation. So he stored them in a fireproof bank vault in the World Trade Center.”

also mad at myself for not flagging it earlier, but there was another photographer - on lens? on here? - who made an image similar to the above, also derivative of the 乒乓 style. i don't think it's an asian street photo trope. just happening secretly worldwide.

if anybody feels the same way about "this" "kind" "of" tonal sweetness as i do about boring & reverent medium format portraits of climbing frames then please draw swords, i do wanna hear it. i spent my afternoon skimming photography blogs & i am definitely conflicted enough to scroll back up to stare at Gross Cluttered Digital Ensemble Pics & wonder if they are unpalatably where it's really at.

I don't have much to contribute but I'll say that
I was surprised that the consensus was that film lacked the dynamic range to bring out darker skin
Because technically film still has superior dynamic range, it captures more 'stops' of light per exposure
But when you think about it, film stocks were curved too. Their responses are not uniform, rather they react to certain intensities of light differently than others. I'd be willing to bet that camera meters were calibrated to put lighter skins right in the 'sweet spot' of a film's curve. And yeah if you exposed for darker skin (maybe via an incident meter) you'd push those same lighter skin tones toward the higher part of the curve
photo.net was sort of 'instrumental' to me in learning about how film and camera and photography worked
But even as a youngish dude I thought it was super weird for the guy (Philip Greenspun) to go on and on about which films captured skin tones 'well'
Even now the common knock against Velvia is that it 'does landscapes well but doesn't do skin tones well'
And you realize now that's a racially coded statement to make
Also, jeez:
The title of the exhibition, To Photograph the Details of a Dark Horse in Low Light, refers to the coded phrase used by Kodak to describe a new film stock created in the early 1980s to address the inability of earlier films to accurately render dark skin.
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 16:05 (ten years ago) link
if you used an incident meter to measure exposure then you would get the same f stop/exposure time combination regardless of the lightness or darkness of the subject. so the lighter skin tones would stay in that sweet spot right? and darker skin tones would fall in a range that is more susceptible to grain and that lacks detail right?
but reflective metering would put darker skin tones in that sweet spot then, right?
― chinavision!, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 16:37 (ten years ago) link
in any case
I'd be willing to bet that camera meters were calibrated to put lighter skins right in the 'sweet spot' of a film's curve
seems otm
