The Musical Saw
Here's a stereo image I had scanned by a lab because the original image wasn't showing up in my own scans with the detail I was able to get from a darkroom. I used to see this fellow occasionally around the Centre Pompidou in Paris. One day in the mid-eighties I asked if I could take his picture and he said okay:
It's a nice 3D image, with the saw and the bow making for some nice relief. As I recall, his playing was haunting and lovely, and he was very good-natured about getting his pitcher took.

I LOVE this photo! What is this gentleman's name?
ReplyDeleteI played the musical saw by the Centre Pompidou a few years ago. Nice to know I was continuing a tradition :) This is me playing in NYC http://youtu.be/lPvTTc7jAVQ
Unfortunately I don't remember his name--I ran into him a few years later and was going to send him a print but lost the slip of paper with his name and address.
