Celebrity Landscape Photographers

[Patrick Dixon]

Saw Cornish and Ward on BBC Breakfast this morning - in Whitby.

David Ward can't be a proper photographer though because he doesn't use an Ebony.

'Ready, Steady, Click', anyone?

I recently spent a week up in Northumberland with them and whether you like or dislike their style of photography they are two thoroughly nice chaps who are passionate about their art. Oh and Mr Cornish said the same thing about Mr Ward and his TK

Counts me out then!

Allegedly they count themselves among two opposing camps, and enjoy a little good humoured rivalry between the "woodies" and the "tinnies".

Just when the digital vs film debate peters out, we find something else to squabble about...
I did notice that in the first version of the accompanying BBC text, there was mention of the technology being hundreds of years old. Mmmm.... Somebody must have written in to point out the excesses of PR.

'Heavy' and 'Victorian technology' I think they called it.

[Thingy]

Nooooooooooooo!

An Ebony is a work of art combined with engineering functionality that is both ecologically sustainable, robust, strokable (Joanna's soooo right) and useful. Victorian cameras were designed for gentleman photographers (who were typically male gentlemen ) and the odd professional, people like Frith, etc. You can take good images with any camera and decent film with a satisfactory lens if you have the mystic Photographer's Eye (available from me at vast expense).

Now don't all rush, I only have three Photographer's Eyes for sale, and they are all imported, to order, from China's Penal establishments!

Are there any other sort?

... and the odd professional

So now you're saying that professionals are odd?

Can I order them with different dioptre correction?

If I were to say what I think of this comment I would be banned!

Same old haircut?

Show of hands?

Shoe on hand?

Stupid old herbert?

Strangely odd haberdashery?

So off hand?

Sew-on hand?

NO fed up with elitism, humerous or not!!!

I will laugh with the best, bur at least my camera is eco-sustainable and does not require the felling ao a 60 or more year old tree ( min req to get 20 yr hardwood).

Yeas Ebony's are great, but thecost more than money, ant do not make a photographer!!!
