Photo of Bukowski Holding Typewriter

[Pogue Mahone]

Tried to do my research, but couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know the photographer for this one?

I seem to remember we've briefly talked about it back in the days when this was the logo of bukowski.net. Maybe one of our savants can recall the exact post.

I thought the same thing, but I don't know where the thread is, or if we came to any conclusion. I have a copy of the photo (I think Red sold a bunch of them), but there's no photographer information on it.

I just got a copy that the previous owner said he got from Red. That's why I asked.

Here's the thread, I think. Nothing in there really.

This thread too, which went south pretty fast. Also got mine from Red.

I purchased one off of eBay years ago for like $50.....no info whatsoever to add...don't even remember who the seller was.

The Village Voice claims that this photo features at their site "courtesy of Michael Montfort." Look here.

Stop showing off Z.:wb:

I can't, it's in my nature.

 

[roni]

like we've discussed before, that's very unlikely. I mean VERY.

i says "Courtesy of Michael Montfort", not "Copyright Michael Montfort". Maybe that means that they bought it from him? This looks like a collectible that he would have, but not shot... Seems a bit lazy of them, but then newspapers often don't give credit/don't pay for rights/mis-credit...

It's pulled from the web, that image, so I'd take any attribution with a grain of salt.

As Roni said, very unlikely that it's Montfort. He didn't shoot like that. If he did, we'd probably have 50 more in a similar style from him, but we don't.
