Photogs / Photo Exhibits This is the place to discuss a particular Photographer (work, style, life, whatever), as well as to post Gallery and Museum Photo Exhibitions and your own impressions of them. As we march on in this new digital world, it is often too easy to forget about the visual importance of the photographic print, as well as their financial importance to the photographer. It is also interesting to remember that some guy named Gene Smith shot with lenses that many lens test reading "never had a picture published in their life" amateurs would turn up their their noses at, as being "unacceptable."

I suspect this is the YouTube video he is referring to. Googling Joe Clark Hillbilly Shapshooter will take you to many of his photos and discussion about him.

There's no direct link; this guy's been gone for years. Former Hudson's department store security guard who authored, shot, and self-published (a now very expensive) book called "Detroit: God's Greatest City." I have a copy of it.

First time I saw one of his photos was around 1965. It was on a Chet Atkins album. It looked like an old photo, but later I found it really wasn't that old.

Google using "Joe Clark Hillbilly Snapshooter" gave me many individual hits.

It is possible that my definition of "many" and yours of "pretty scarce" could end up being the same number.

Ten thousand hits is a bit more than scarce --

Joe Clark - one of the great ones...

After 5 pages of book ads I still didn't know when he was born. I gave up after hearing ol' Joe Clark played and sung by everybody, but Beyonce.

Maybe I'm just not good at Googling.
