Comment on Interview with Lorenz Gude 29th April 2002. by Lorenz Gude

Tom is absolutely correct. We went to high school in Bellows Falls Vermont together. He is a year older and went to Columbia the year before I did – ‘59 and ‘60 respectively. I must have erroneously conveyed the impression that I met Tom at Columbia. As to the quality of my photographic work I think it is important as a record of the people and the times but I think it not at all excellent, but rather typical of someone who was trying hard but had little special talent for photography. I have since taught a lot of photography classes and realized that genuine talent in the medium is rare…perhaps on the order of 1%. I am relieved and delighted that Tom finds my account of Ted and the NY scene in general as reasonably accurate.

I like this Lorenz guy saying we met at Columbia. What a hoot! We were in high school together in Bellows Falls, Vermont, for chrisakes! He’s got Ted’s number pretty good tho. An accurate portrait of the man!

Other things: …Ginsberg was there, on the Lower East Side, when he returned from India. (Burroughs showed up shortly thereafter, as I recall.) Ted and Ginzie were good friends. Dick Gallup’s name is misspelled. The description of NYC at the time is excellent — especially the bit about “walking home at four in the morning having had an experience that at seven o’clock in the evening you had no more idea you were going to have, and that happening regularly.” Absolutely true.

Good interview, mate! But I didn’t see Lorenz mention that he was a photographer to the poets in those days — turning out excellent black and white work that he developed in his bathtub. One time he got up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty and took a big swig of developer that he kept in his fridge in a Mott’s Applejuice jug!

Comment on A normal day in the Acropolis: Tasmania by Michael Ritchie

Hey James, I came across this image while searching the interweb for some Australian Panorama’s. This image is absolutely superb! I was wondering if you could get in contact with Dominic Whittle, to see if he would grant permission to use this image in a publication that I am doing the design for. The Publication is called “Australian Wildlife” for a preservation society. If you would like to see how the image would work in the context of the publication, I would be more than happy to email you a PDF.

I Look forward to hearing from you.

Michael Ritchie.

p.s. and yes it does make me want to walk the overland!
