Sunday Morning Photographer: Moving Pictures
This week’s Sunday Morning Photographer column Mike Johnston is very subtly titled “Moving Pictures”...
“I’ve always believed - on very little actual evidence - that watching black-and-white movies can help black-and-white photographers get better. New on DVD recently is the famous “Schindler’s List,” which, although perhaps a qualified success as a film (only Spielberg could come so close to ruining a movie full of death and genocide with a saccharine ending), is indisputably a tour-de-force of superlative monochrome cinematography. Never mind the red cloak; Janusz Kaminski’s camerawork is of an extraordinary standard, always very good and, quite frequently, flat-out great. A movie to rent if you’re trying to learn how to see, or see better, in black-and-white.”

He's going downhill. Can't focus on a single subject. Jumping from topic to topic, including emails. (And last week was about a discussion topic re: an earlier piece of his). Is he running out of material? Is he trying to become the Larry King of photography?
