A 40-YEAR-OLD photograph of the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” cast that was shot by a late Pebble Beach photographer is now back in the hands of his family after a two-year legal battle with a Hollywood film giant over the image.

The photo, which had been used by Twentieth Century Fox after they acquired the rights to the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” in 1998, was shot by renowned photographer John G. Zimmerman, who captured it for a 1974 Time Magazine cover story about actresses Mary Tyler Moore and Valerie Harper. Zimmerman died in 2002 at the age of 74.

While Zimmerman’s family owns the rights to thousands of his photos, including images from the Time Magazine shoot, the photo in question mysteriously never made it to them.

“We always assumed Time returned all of the photos to us after the story ran,” according to Pebble Beach resident Linda Zimmerman, who manages an archive of her father’s photos in Pacific Grove. “But this portrait, which captures the personalities of the cast to a tee, somehow went missing.”

His engaging photos will give you the inspiration and motivation to go forth and create.

Len Speier
As native New Yorker, Len Speier was taken with photography from the time his late uncle Sam gave him a primitive film developing kit on his 13th birthday. Despite college, a stint with the First Cavalry Division on Occupation Duty in Japan at the end of WWII, followed by NYU Law School and a private practice, Len, somehow, returned to his first love, the photo arts, and has been completely engaged for over forty years.

Combining law with photography when he taught at the New School led Len to develop a course entitled: “What Every Photographer Should Know about the Law”. He also taught at FIT for over 16 years retiring as Associate Professor in 2006. Len has also done extensive lecturing on copyright, photography, and related topics at photo organizations, colleges, camera clubs and at the NYS Art Teachers’ Association.

His work is in the Permanent Collection of the International Center of Photography (ICP), Bibliotheque Nationale (Paris), Museum of the City of New York, Photo Archive of the New York Public Library, and numerous professional and private collections. Len was also a mentor for ten years for the NAACP program entitled, “ACT-SO”.

Chester Higgins portrait of Mandela

MandelabyChesterHigginsJr.

Nelson Mandela was freed from prison on 11 February 1990. Five weeks later, on 19 March 1990, on his first trip out of South Africa, he came to Stockholm to visit Oliver Tambo who was recovering from surgery. I too, was there to see Oliver Tambo before continuing on to Windhoek, Namibia to witness the birth of a new African nation. Like many who supported the cause of African Liberation from colonial occupation, I had always been moved by Mandel’s statement from his treason trial, “ Democracy is an ideal I wish to live for, but if need be, it is an ideal I’m prepared to die for.” Twenty-three years later, the great tree has fallen, and the Earth shook. Mandela was a tree of great character and beauty. He cast a wide shadow and gave shelter to so many under his branches. May his example become the guiding star that shines forever in the hearts of all future generations who cherish justice and freedom.

Ron Sherman – New book on Atlanta

Ron Sherman book cover

The photo book is entitled Atlanta – America the Beautiful. It contains 95 photos on 97 pages. It is my fourth published book on Atlanta. A Barnes & Noble manager stated “I recommend this book because it is the best pictorial book we have of Atlanta on hand.”

The new book, capturing Atlanta’s remarkable beauty with its images and historical sweep, is even more remarkable as a publishing phenomenon. While the usual lead time for a picture book is six to nine months, Atlanta – America the Beautiful, moved from concept to delivery of images in sixty days, a publishing record. An advantage I had for this project was the large number of updated Atlanta photographs in my image archives. Getting the assignment in December, with a February deadline did not allow for much exterior coverage. A majority of the images came from my image collection which allowed me to concentrate on the attractions that opened this past year.

The book is available on line at http://amzn.to/19HwkPK

Fred Stein, Paris New York

.FredStein.book.51akFfEHSsL__SX258_BO1,204,203,200_

Fred Stein (1909-1967) was a master of street photography. As an early pioneer of the hand-held camera, he captured poignant moments in the street life of two of the world’s great cities: Paris and New York, where he lived after fleeing from Nazi Germany.
This same immediacy infuses his portraits of the great personalities of the era, among them Albert Einstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Marc Chagall. Stein’s images are a vital document of the twentieth century and an important part of photo history. He left behind an existensive oeuvre which this publication presents comprehensively for the first time.
