Happened to come across in my bookcase a (misplaced on another non-photo shelf many years ago) small PB book "Plant Leaves" by Kipton Kumler. Love his images. Just ordered his 2nd? book "Kipton Kumler Photographs". Little info on him on the WEB other than he was from the Boston area and born in 1940. Images in his book "Plant Leaves" were from the early 1970s? and platinum prints so have to assume that he used a LF camera. Anyone out there in the FORUM have any other info on/about him? The equipment he used? Really guessing on this end that he used an 8x10 camera to take 1:1 images. Aperture had to be in the f/90 range. If he is still around would love to make the 2+ hour to the Boston area to visit him and maybe even record and interview to post.

A creative person is always versatile. Please note - he trained for a new profession in the field also related to plants. Apparently, the flora plays a unique role for him. I've always admired the ability of people to photograph. Unfortunately, I can't correctly shoot so to get beautiful photos. So now, when we are planning to visit Orlando, I've booked Universal Studios photographer in advance to have stunning high-quality footage from this trip. I'm already in anticipation of visiting famous parks and locations where so many favorite films were filmed! Here's the link: http://www.wanderlustportraits.com/engagement-photographer-orlando/
