While he grew up in San Diego, he spent 20 years in London printing for all the greats--Norman Parkinson, Sieff (in Paris), Don McCullum, Linda McCartney, as a sample. He too wrote book, developed a compensating timer for printing and had a column in one of the Darkroom magazines for many years. Several years ago returned to San Diego. I feel very fortunate to have someone I can hand film to, have him P&P, select an image or two, print them, and deliver to client without my seeing anything. Plus he is a nice fellow, and every Friday evening has an open house to answer questions about photography and printmaking. He has Leica Ms sitting in drawers and too busy to shoot. But has said he prefers to print from Leica negs. A good share of his work is from out of town, the same loyal customers from London, NY, etc. Donal Philby San Diego
