price as power. power of condit. belief in power. so it comes to this.. hold onto it long enough… you don’t use it, neither does anyone else. What could have been $400 useable wasn’t of interest, nor of use. In these ongoing times, money vanished. The chosen become beggars.

INFLATION DEFLATED.

Condit 4×5 pin registration equipment

–[So I’m holding onto it for them. But even if they don’t, $1000 is more than a fair price for the gear 
if it’s something you need…  and if it’s not something you need, $400 is a waste of your good money! [smile] –— 2019

slowly we flip calendars… stations change… so, too, voices of options.

 The big name dropper posts:  I want to sell my set of Condit 4x5 pin registration equipment:
 
    -- 4"x5"  Precision Negative Carrier
    -- Two of the rectangular/diagonal cut upper-class inserts for the carrier
    -- Two of the rectangular lower-glass inserts for the carrier. The end of one is broken off, but it doesn't intrude into the image area with 4 x 5 separations.
    -- Two film punches, one set up for four-inch wide film and the other for 5 inch wide film
    -- Two Condit wooden contact printing frames, 7" x 9" inner diameter
    -- Three pin-register glass plates, 7" x 9", for the contact frames
    -- Some odd mounting brackets and bits of hardware and screws that apparently are used to affix the Precision Negative Carrier to some enlargers. I never needed them with mine, so I don't know how they work.
    
I’d like to get $500 for it. Any takers? --- 2025

Guess he would never consider donating the items to anyone, perhaps the keepers of the dye transfer group he uses to broadcast

Keeping the image from falling too far. “the misty territory of truthful fiction”

imagery stimulates the creative.. often stepping across the boundary setup by prior makers. An image type, structure, content, will make it into another mode. Ads/Art/Commerce/Collection.

People who like photographs to be of things, make photographs of things they like .. The things they like often are places; often large places, with large cameras. These same photographers rarely make photographs of people … frequently they avoid people.. 

When presented an image, an object, a picture of people … people presented without adornment, without background ,so that your attention is directed towards only that person..if you don’t like that type of person, you won’t like that photograph.  You probably won’t like the photographer. You may feel confronted, intimidated.

Too often, a hardened view becomes a prejudice. Unexamined, so extending into more matters. Their prejudice extends deeper than their aesthetic matters, it has to vilify, not only them ,but those like them, even those who like them — a prejudice down to explaining the glasses. Maybe even cameras, cities

We know, of course, these critics  don’t apply such level of scrutiny to themself. Instead they conform. Limiting what they know to when they were 30.

Richard Avedon [1923-2004] , in 1979, was commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum [Fort Worth, TX, aka Cow Town] to produce photographs attentive to to people with overlooked occupations — to summarize the West. The overlooked westerner. Laura Wilson, a Dallas photographer, worked with Avedon on the project.

[ Richard Avedon died in San Antonio, TX, on assignment…]. His work, in overview, is here.

>> I like the picture. Obviously, it was staged; most beekeepers don’t wear their bees. But it’s still a natural picture – its natural bee behavior. I think those who were against Avedon before…are the ones who were most vocal about this picture when it comes out.— Ronald Fisher. Not from “.. some place up north…” Still selling Vacant Acres honey[2024]

Initial contact. Davis, California, which, even to this day is in the West, not the north… within CA is is east of San Francisco.

Richard Avedon – Ronald Fisher, Beekeeper, Davis, California, May 9, 1981, printed 1985

Note: Bay Area Avedon: “A career retrospective that covered all areas of Avedon’s photography, it was Avedon’s initial collaboration with the curator and museum director David Ross.  The first of Avedon’s photographs from In the American West debuted at Berkeley, an oversized portrait of Boyd Fortin, the rattlesnake skinner.  The show was disrupted (though not closed) when Avedon’s 30-foot-long mural of Andy Warhol and Members of the Factory was vandalized by a visitor who tossed an iodine-filled balloon at Warhol’s head, destroying the photograph. ” — UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUM, BERKELEY, CA, 1980
