WOW!!! What a great site! It's huge, I don't think my family will see me for a month!

Amazing! How come I've never heard of this fellow?

Great Stuff!, and trust the Bluedevils to come up with the best.

Again, this is what I love about this forum, such a caleideoscope of info. Paul Nelson

It boggles my mind the work involved to set up a site that organized with so many images of high quality scans. Never mind the work involved producing the images to start with. Makes me want to throw some black and white film in a camera and go into town - a type of shooting I rarely if ever do.

This guy's work is simply amazing. The quality and volume are tremendous, and the hard work involved is staggering-the writings are a treat...

Outrageously stunning night shots...

Gedney's India stuff really is unmatched, better than HCB in my view. His (only?) book "What Was True: Photographs and Notebooks," published posthumously, is a great introduction to him.

In his will, he stipulated that his cameras, photography books, and other materials be given to an institute in India to support young photographers. He shot Leica Ms and wide-angle lenses.

For those interested, there is also a book out that has many of Gedneys pictures. I don't recall the full title off-hand, but a search on Amazon should turn it up. Highly recommended.
