As if the festivities around our 100th episode weren’t enough, we now have even more to celebrate: Jeff and P are getting married in Italy on July 3rd. How is this real? How did we get here? And most importantly, what camera will Gabe use to shoot the wedding? Tune in for tutti i pettegolezzi!
this time Gabe’s the world traveler! New York, London, Italy…
he spent some time in New York City with Sissi Lu and her Brompton folding bike
hopped the pond to London, ate at Dishoom and Borough Market
and bought a Kodak Retina IIIc, the little c, details to follow - he’ll be shooting with it this week!
then he was off to Turin in Piemonte
and then back to London as an honored guest at the Ivy Club
Gabe did plenty of shooting with his Leica M10
but discovered that his famous 35mm f2 Summicron, the one with the giant crack which doesn’t affect image quality, has a small new crack, and it does affect image quality!
meanwhile, Jeff’s awash in pre-wedding madness, getting married in Italy on July 3rd
a brief recap of his improbable romantic journey over the course of IDOC’s 104 episodes - when Jeff and P first connected, Gabe worried Jeff was getting catfished and would end up in a bathtub full of ice with one kidney
but on to the wedding itself! who’s the wedding photographer? nobody!
Jill Greenberg might shoot a bit, if someone will lend her a camera
Gabe’s experience with wedding photography, shooting Martin Starr’s wedding
what’s he bringing to Italy? the M10 for starters, but maybe Jeff will toss him the XPan or the Olympus XA4
in less happy news, Gabe got scammed by someone posing as a lens donor
and on a related note, KEH finally did right by the guy whose Leica M4-P had been stolen
we remember the mighty Duane Michals, the brilliant photographer who died last week at age 94
Jeff’s over his infatuation with the Leicaflex SL2 50 Jahre, because now he’s got an eye on an early SL2 with the original logo - anyone wanna get him a wedding gift?
and finally, we do not quite empty our Prodigious Mailbag™
