It has been pointed out that this photograph was taken by Timothy O'Sullivan, rather than Mathew Brady. Brady had a few assistants with him, O'Sullivan being one of them, so it's confusing.Google isn't helping much right now, obliging with both results.

Question withdrawn for now. May be reinstated later, if I get to look into this in detail. Reliable detailed information is welcome.

Also


Some claim that the photographs attributed (and in many cases mis-attributed) to Matthew Brady are the reason the Civil War is more popular than the Revolutionary War in the American imagination. In fact, nearly 150 years later, the in situ portraits of weary-looking officers, the shots of battlefield formations, and the unvarnished records of the post-battle carnage still bring the immediacy of that war to us in a way that illustration techniques cannot.

Before I go to bed, thank you bluebell and lbloom for running the contest.

Also, I miss aelan's hypercompetitive presence. :grin:

[Technical]

Edward Steichen/Moonlight the Pond?

[Robotron]

Have any clues been posted for 4.10 yet?

[Technical]

I mean 4.8 Edward Steichen/Moonlight the Pond of course

[Robotron]

Sorry, I meant 6.10.

[Robotron]

6.6: The Trial

[lbloom]

4.10 has a lead actor who has been mentioned in this thread.

My bad. That should be 5.10.


Have any clues been posted for 4.10 yet?

Sorry, I meant 6.10.

Ha, you're even worse. :)

[Technical]

Clarification: 4.8 Edward Steichen: The Pond--Moonlight

[Ivy]

they wanted the subject for the photos, not the name, and the subject is Long Island NY.

[Technical]

4.8 Edward Steichen: Mamaroneck, NY (Not Long Island)

[bluebell]

Would it be totally sniping someone else's if I said Steichen - Long Island for 4.8?

no to the sniping, yes to the answer!


Before I go to bed, thank you bluebell and lbloom for running the contest.

Also, I miss aelan's hypercompetitive presence. :grin:

np :) And likewise. Some people think that a holiday swanning around Western Australian vineyards are more important than trivia quizzes. Pfft.


Edward Steichen/Moonlight the Pond?

already answered


I mean 4.8 Edward Steichen/Moonlight the Pond of course

already answered


6.6: The Trial

You mean 5.6 but yes.

[Robotron]

Are we only allowed a certain number of guesses per picture? For now I'll guess 5.6 is Carrie.

[Technical]

Mamaroneck isn't in Long Island, I call shenanigans.

[Robotron]

Are we only allowed a certain number of guesses per picture? For now I'll guess 5.6 is Carrie.

Sorry again, 5.10.

[bluebell]

No restriction on guesses.

He's famous for being Howard Florey?

He's famous for being Howard Florey?

[Technical]

8.2. Bach's Jesu meine Freude?

[Ivy]

Well, fuck.

[bluebell]

[Ivy]

[bluebell]

OH FUCK YES. Take THAT, Ivy. Finally, my sweet, sweet, revenge....I hope...This will look really bad if I lose, won't it...

Dude. Settle down. It's just a lighthearted game.

[lbloom]

[lbloom]

http://www.intpcentral.com/uploads/409cc6f6bab70c46c5afc83b214267ffScreenshot_1.jpg

It got broken up by the bonus questions, but Robotron is the movie king right now.

I can do it, but someone will have to remind me what the prizes are.
