"Apug International Annual Weegee Shootout"

[Dave Wooten]

Revival of the press camera!

Any one up for this...4 x 5 hand held street scenes at night....say designate a Wee Gee month to shoot and then do a gallery post...

see the post on this forum "anybody know this LFer...Wee Gee"

and note Dave Goldfarb's reference to his NYC halloween photography, 4 x 5 hand held, ...he sets a high bar here...could be fun....and a good cigar in the evening is a nice touch indeed...

Cheers,

Dave from the Dark side of Vegas

I'd be so down.

Do I have to use my Graflite, or is a speedlite ok?

Does it have to be a 4x5?

I've looked at David's examples, and of course many by Weegee himself, and I'm trying to think of how to closely duplicate the look with the stuff I have.

My Crown Graphic and I are up for it.

Why. This would make it a perfect reason to invest in a Graphic. Everyone should really have one anyways.

I can only hope that the mob will pull a tommy gun hit on someone in my neighborhood. Wee Gee taught us that a Bloodbath looks really cool in B&W. Especially in Ortho.

I'm up for it. Sounds like a lot of fun. I still have 2 film packs from the mid 70's. Doubt they are any good anymore, but I've been reluctant to throw them out.

ROFL! I am laughing out loud just imagining what I would ever do with one of them!

My friends think I'm totally wacko using a 30yo Canon rangefinder with (>>SHOCK<<) film instead of going digital like all of the other lemmings.

The more I think of this, one place I want to shoot to try this look is at a big annual costume thing in February, and actually, I would not look out of place walking in there carrying a camera that's bigger than a toaster!

I suppose if Jackie K/O could drive one, I could too!

Oh well ... I really don't know what else I would use something like that.

Just be happy it isn't the 5X7 Linhof Technika that Ole used to use!
