I really don't remember where I came across that, but I don't think I was ever that close to Elfros.Couldn't help but notice the lower pic's flag on the left is the Icelandic flag. Wife's grandparents immigrated from Iceland to Elfros in SE Saskatchewan. It was/is? a significant Icelandic community. Wife's mom grew up learning Icelandic there and she still has cousins in the area (and Iceland). I wonder how close that abandoned farm house was to her mom's home town.
Other flag is Norwegian. Probably some mixed marriage happening.
Would be cool to know the history of the picture and of its former owners.
I do like it.
Morris Rosenfeld- amazing photographer!![]()
From my office
Yes, I believe this print was in JFK's office, or another Rosenfeld. My grandfather loved it and was moved to go to the Rosenfeld studio and buy the mounted print. Gave it to me when he retired. (my grandfather, not JFK)
Expose for the shadows, develop for the highlights. That's the crudest way of trying to explain the Zone System.I've always seen some quality the same as Ansell Adams in Rosenfeld's photos.
I suspect it lies in a developing technique - getting that "density" of contrast.
Well, you have to be in the right place at the right time to take the shot in the first place. To get the shot of a lifetime, once in a lifetime, is good luck. To do it a bunch of times is really good luck. To do it as a regular matter of business, day in, day out, requires being a good enough sailor to know where that shot is going to be had by the time you can get there.Expose for the shadows, develop for the highlights.

Absolutely agree. He and Beken were really the top.Well, you have to be in the right place at the right time to take the shot in the first place.
