Jurgen Schadeberg obituary

Very sad news about the passing of APAG member Jurgen Schadeberg. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Claudia Schadeberg has been a regular attendee at our Zoom meetings during the pandemic, and we were honored to have Jurgen join us for one as well. We had just asked him to speak at a future meeting, but unfortunately we were too late. Deepest condolences to his wife Claudia, son Charlie and their entire family. ❤️
Mary Engel – Founder and President, APAG

Zoom Meetings

Since the beginning of lockdown in New York, APAG took its meetings online. Within a couple of weeks it became clear how valuable these meetings were to our members, and how wonderful it was that so many out of town members were able to join in.

We have now hosted dozens of meetings with a variety of interesting and informative guests. The audio from these meetings is available on this website, under Membership / Members Only (for members only! If you haven’t joined APAG yet, the cost is very little, please join and enjoy all the benefits.)

Seen here from left to right are Stephen Perloff of The Photo Review; Chester Higgins, our guest photographer; Randa Cardwell, archivist for David Hume Kennerly; Leslie Smolan, Rodney Smith Estate; Julie Grahame, Karsh Estate, and APAG VP; and Mary Engel, Ruth Orkin and Morris Engel Archives, Founder and President of APAG.

Digitizing Negatives

Our member Ron Sherman shared this in response to our conversations about scanning in the last Zoom meeting.

During our discussion about camera scans and Nikon type scanners, I volunteered to test both, since I have used both techniques. The results are attached, along with my camera, bellows, and lens setup and the lights and camera setup.  I determined that the camera scans with my equipment are ok when there is a large number of negatives to be used for reference or archiving. A newer camera and better macro lens would improve the camera scan quality. My Nikon Scanner gave me the results I need for high quality reproductions. I hope this demo gives the APAG members a starting point in their quest for a scanning solution.

The Life and Work of Harold Feinstein

Kodak’s “Kodakery” podcast features APAG member, Harold Feinstein. Harold was born in Coney Island in 1931. When he passed away in 2015 the New York Times declared him: “One of the most accomplished recorders of the American experience.”

“This week we’re talking with filmmaker Andy Dunn and curator Carrie Scott about a phenomenal photographer that you might not know about: Harold Feinstein. Harold began shoot in the ’40s and his images are as powerful today as they were back then. We talk about what place his photography has in history and how Andy and Carrie have both been instrumental in keeping Harold’s story alive.”

Fred Lyon

Vineyards: Photographs by Fred Lyon is out now from Princeton Architectural Press.

As a budding photographer and oenophile in the 1940s, Fred Lyon surveyed the wine photography of the day and thought, “I can do better than that!” What followed was a seven-decade adventure that took him to the world’s great wine regions – to French chateaux, the verdant slopes of Chile, and the picturesque wineries of Italy, Greece, Portugal, and beyond – always returning to the breathtaking Napa and Sonoma vineyards that lie just over the bridge from his San Francisco home. Lyon’s keen eye illuminates moments both grand and intimate that define the world of winemaking: families turning out for the harvest, a horse pulling a sled of freshly picked grapes, a midmorning workers’ break to enjoy bread and cheese. Vineyards is a delightful gift for wine lovers, foodies, and armchair travelers.
