Mark: 1959 was a banner year. In addition to the Miles album, other landmark recordings were Coltrane's Giant Steps and Dave Brubeck's Time Out. My wife and I were with Dave in Florida when he was being interviewed/video taped on the 50th anniversary of those game changing releases. One of those indelible memories for us!

Jack: I think you mean you were in Brecksville Reservation, not Breaksville. And, Beaver Marsh is in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Lots of photo ops in both!
Just a quick reminder of one of Ansel Adam's best quotes - at least in my mind. And I am paraphrasing only slightly when he is quoted as saying "Good pictures are made, not taken." And I say whatever it takes to get a satisfying finished product!
Beautiful! Some of the very best from there!
Also, check out VueScan. It has updated drivers for just about every computer OS as well as all scanners.
Have also photographed this many times. Wondering if this image is reversed as I believe the Lighthouse is on the right (east) side.
If not, then this is a vantage point that I have somehow missed! Would also love to see horizon straightened up. I know, picky, picky!
Suggest you try plug-in scanner software VueScan. Much higher quality than software that comes with most scanners.
Just a reminder about one of Ansel Adam's most famous sayings: "Great pictures are made, not taken." Works for me and still true today!
Thanks! Lots and lots of great memories with many of the top jazz players. As I mentioned in a previous post, Oscar had a serious case of GAS and, when we would get together for a "record date" (what the old timers called making a recording) the first thing he wanted to talk about was what was new in the world of camera gear. Great fun!
Yes, I was the recording engineer for Oscar Peterson. The cut from his Paris concert is mine.
...continuing Dave Brubeck after a finger slip hit the send key! You can find these on Amazon.
Thanks for posting this. You are missing Dave's last 18 CDs for which I was the recording engineer and my wife the piano tuner/technician. They are on the TELARC label and represent some of Dave's finest (at least in my opinion)
Thanks for posting. Just to update, Oscar was very busy and played well into the 90s. I happen to know because, not only was he a good friend, I was the recording engineer for his last 12 albums. And, certain to be of interest in this forum, he had a HUGE case of GAS. Whenever we would get together for a record date, he was always anxious to compare notes and talk about the latest camera gear. Great memories!
Nice shot, Paul! Maybe you should ask for your money back on the fake owl!
