Then I remembered that hanging at home I have an awesome panoramic shot of a heard of elk. I think the photographer was Ben something, I'll check when I get home. But why "Ben"? what information or photographs does this galley have that has them looking for Bens? ann 10-27-2005, 11:05 AM they are doing a show called "the Ben", the work or the artist will have the name ben included someplace . It is not just photos, but a variety of media. they asked me if i knew of any photo "Bens". thanks for checking . laz 10-27-2005, 11:24 AM they are doing a show called "the Ben", the work or the artist will have the name ben included someplace .er......okay. Interesting curatorial approach....and this gallery is where? ann 10-27-2005, 11:39 AM atlanta ga. medform-norm 10-27-2005, 11:58 AM My suggestion for next show for this gallery: doing a show called "the Norm", the work or the artist will have the name norm included someplace. Could send you loads of stuff :p Good luck though with the show - Norm Surly 10-27-2005, 12:53 PM Ben Shahn was a "famous" photographer for the FSA http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/fsahtml/fachap01.html Also a painter etc.... I did a search for ben photographer and got a ton of websites for photographers with the first name of Ben. Hope that helps ann 10-27-2005, 01:02 PM thanks, i will pass the word along about the google option and this name. Use computer dumbies never think about google. :) Paul Sorensen 10-27-2005, 02:11 PM they are doing a show called "the Ben", the work or the artist will have the name ben included someplace .

If you will pay enough, I can have my name legally changed! :D Ben Diss 10-27-2005, 02:19 PM Um, hello? Paul Sorensen 10-27-2005, 02:21 PM Um, hello? Damn, I knew someone would beat me to it. :) laz 10-27-2005, 05:34 PM I just got home and checked the panoramic by the "Ben" I mentioned this morning. The photographer's full name is Ben Sheffield, has anyone ever heard of him? The photo I have is dated 1909 and the scene is a herd of Elk in the western US or perhaps even Alaska? It's a beauty measuring about 10x36" -Bob Gay Larson 10-27-2005, 06:29 PM Darn, I was going to tell you my middle name is Ben but then someone beat me to it. Besides you would never believe me. Oh well.... ROL 10-27-2005, 08:27 PM am helping a gallery intown with some research, any aware of famous or not so famous photographers named Ben? Not so famous, Plural or possesive, maybe this helps, rangeoflightphotography.com (http://www.rangeoflightphotography.com) big_ben_blue 10-27-2005, 09:16 PM uhmmmmmmmmmm..... */hustle, hustle, hustle my official nickname is ben, even BIG and BLUE, all in one convenient package :D . But you would have to wait a little for the show ... call me back in about 10 or 20 years, then I might (make that SHOULD) be famous, stinking rich, excentric beyond belief, and only do art on the weekends on PBS :) Cheers, Chris, aka big_ben_blue |
