Virginia Luthiers
Last week, I drove down to Grayson County to visit some Luthier friends and listen to a bit of Bluegrass. Decided to shoot pictures with my 1960’s Rollei TLR and Fuji Neopan 400, a black and white film that reminds me of 1970’s Tri-X. Along the lines of shooting with older film gear, I packed my Leica M4 and my Canon 50mm f/1.2 lens. Richards Photo Lab in Los Angeles processed and scanned the film. Richards has a great deal going for photographers who want to continue shooting film but deliver digitally. Each roll of 120 or 35mm is $26.00 for processing with 40 megabyte scans of each frame.
Wayne Henderson, Master Guitarist and Luthier. Eric Clapton waited four years for his Henderson guitar. The waiting list is now over seven years long.
Gerald Anderson, Guitarist and Luthier. One half of the Anderson-Strickland duo. All around great guy and player.
Spencer Strickland, Monster Shredder on the Mandolin and Luthier. Spencer made my guitar, #008.
