p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lee Friedlander

I had the privilege of seeing Lee Friedlander tonight at ICP in NYC. He's coming out with a new book, "Real Estate", his 65th book over the course of his 60 year career. Included in a panel discussion were four instrumental people: his archivist, book designer, collaborator who helps him select and sequence photos, and his printer. They've all been with him for the last 25-50 years. Lee is known for being shy in front of audiences, so he sat in the front row with his wife and occasionally made remarks from there during the discussion. This was a perfect evening to learn about the art of publishing a photography book and of course seeing one of the greatest photographers of our time.

One of my photographic heroes. What an honor to meet him and talk with him, and even more amazing that he's working. When I started in photography I modeled so much of what I did after his book Self Portrait which I still have after half a century. More up and coming photographers need to know about Lee. This reminds me of going to a Robert Frank exhibit in Culver City about 25 years ago. Good work Steve.

I'll add that some time back in the late 1970's I took a picture of Garry Winogrand at Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove that I shot with a 1928 Leica and purposefully cut off his head, as it would have been in his style. I think I got a weekend job there changing slide carousels as was so cool walking around with that old Leica. Maybe I can find those negs somewhere. Ha. Maybe not.

Your comments much appreciated Peter. Agree, a photographic hero.

Super composition Steve! What a "rush" to actually meet a mentor!
WE need to get him a USB port so we dont loose all that information stored in his head!
Again well done!

Thanks Dan. Lee Freidlander has still got it, making photo books at 89 years old.

I hope you can find those negs. I'd love to see one of your shots.
