Great poster Dr. Tommy. Put me in line if you find them. Have you set your price?
Wow, had I known there would have been this much interest I would have taken home the entire stack that afternoon. I am pretty sure it was John Apen that had these at a Rutlands event. I remember being surprised that few seemed interested. No promises but I am going to look and see what I have this weekend.
Question: Suppose I cannot find any? Is there a way to make a QUALITY duplicate of mine? Something better than a color copy from Kinkos? I am open for suggestions. I don't know much about this stuff so you guys that want one will need to help me figure this out.
One of the coolest shots I've ever seen! Looks like you have some other cool photos hanging in that room based on the reflection in the first pic.
FYI - I'm going to start a thread in the general section to see where this photo can be bought.... Kevin
Take a photo of it with a good modern SLR perfectly square via a tripod and under as even lighting as possible (eg near a window on a bright cloudy day is perfect). Taking it out of any glass will remove reflections. Set to 50 or 100ASA, around f8. Fill the frame with the photo. The subsequent photo will need a fair amount of processing to get the best result. Am happy to do that for you.
You can also try taking it to a Reprographics place and having then scan it. Quality can vary but it's worth a shot.
So I reversed image searched it on Google and found the photographer: Bob Harmeyer. Here is his website with the pic. There is contact info and I'm guessing he can answer any questions regarding purchasing a larger copy of it...plus he owns it so the money would go to him rightfully imo. Photography is a hard career to make a decent living. Enzo Ferrari, 1987, Fiorano | Bob Harmeyer Image Unavailable, Please Login
My mechanic has this,it is signed in purple ink,story is he sent Mr Ferrari a Thank You note for building his 330GTC 9679 and got this in return. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
So is someone going to contact the guy? I would imagine he could sell a few. Regarding making a copy, contact some local printers. They can help you and can do a much better job than you can (scanning or photographing). However they may be wary of copyright issues. Not sure how long a copyright lasts. I did a Google search after seeing this thread and nothing came up from the usual sources of Ferrari print media. Maybe a trolling of eBay will turn something up over time. -F
Wow! There are some incredible photos on his site! The 76 f1 race at the Glen (my first race); and other series as well. Amazing photo of Roger Penske on his home page....
This photo was NOT taken by Bob Harmeyer. I have an orignal print of this phot that hung in my garage. It is now in storage, so I can't pull it out. This IS the last "Official" photograph that Enzo posed for. You can't see it in the picture, but there is a chair behind him. He was in frail condition and stood up for the picture and then sat back down. The stampings on the back of the photo are from Modena. It is the same company/person that did a good amount of official Ferrari photos.
It seems the Copyright is owned by Bob Harmeyer. Let's see what he says when he replies to the email I sent him. Hoping for an early Monday morning answer.
