Stan's Book

New York Stan has a new book out. Congratulations Stan, to a wonderful guy with a keen eye. Check out this link on Blurb. Blurb is a self publishing platform that I was not familiar with and my first cursory look seems promising. I wonder what kind of control a photographer has with his imagery? My Apple calendars have been disastrous on certain shots, and you have no editorial control of how things will actually print. If Stan's looks good (and I just ordered it) I may go this route myself. Onward into the new millennia.

The book is called Subway Stories. Stan Schnier rode the New York rails for four years with a vintage Widelux panoramic camera. This book sheds light on that journey. A voyage to the far off lands of the IND and the BMT. Check it out in preview mode.

Not the Incredible String Band

The Blue Heron Blast's own New York Stan has a gig in Scotland in August. Stan is a commercial photographer and teacher in New York but used to play in the String Band. He also was Muddy Waters and Janis Ian's road manager and worked at the Fillmore East and had a million other musical gigs. Stan is quite a guy and lives in New York City with his beloved pooch and his lap steel guitar. He was temporarily bodysnatched by aliens but is back and now quite comfortable in his corporeal flesh.

Stan is getting back together this summer with some of his old mates for some european gigs. If you are across the pond you might want to have a taste. Good luck, Stan old bean.
