Ken, I could talk cameras forever and since we are discussing
Christopher Isherwoods this would be most appropriate for a poetics
list. (I am a camera...)
I used a Nikon F2AS and Nikkormat as well while a lowly paid
photojournalist for a left-wing publishing company. I also designed
three darkrooms for them and was completely free to make use of them for
personal use. I also used a Diax IIb but this was stolen as were the
Nikons (which by this time were on the brink of being worn out) and the
Mamiya TLR outfit I also used for photojournalism. Later I used a Nikon
FE2 which I got to like before selling it in a time of dire financial
need.
On a personal biographical note I have been photographing for almost 45
years now so learnt to photograph at the same time as learning to write
and do arithmetic. But I think the link between writing and photography
is far more universal then my personal biography. Large format monorails
interest me because they became more widely used after World War 2 and
placed the body of the photographer into the feedback processes which
monorail movements need, which is to say cybernetic culture. Minor White
makes similar comments.
The photographic gear, well bottom of the market stuff.
