My wife and I were flipping through channels in bed, and we stumbled upon the most fascinating documentary. It was about a true pioneer and visionary of the captured image who made his mark during the first half of the twentieth century. About twenty minutes into it I blurted out, "This guy is made of the same cloth as Jim Jannard." My wife, half asleep, told me to stop talking and go to bed. I still see so many parallels between what this guy did and what Jim Jannard has done (and will do in the years ahead).

Am I an idiot for never hearing of this guy before? I'm best described as a film dabbler than film professional, but I'd like to think I know my history. I'll post the picture of the guy below, and the first person to ID him correctly has a choice meal waiting at a fine Chicago restaurant whenever you next find yourself in the Windy City.

Very few photos were ever taken of him - here's one of them:

I hope it takes longer than tomorrow morning before I get an answer...
 
Dammit, Deanan!! I'm guessing you didn't reverse-search that image. I always suspected I was an ignorant bastard. Thanks for confirming it. Did everyone out there immediately know it too? I'm rapidly developing a serious complex.
 
Dr. Jekyll?

Deanan, shoot me an email at philstefani at gmail dot com next time you're headed to Chicago. Dinner for you and a guest, with several restaurants to choose from, awaits.
 
Jim, there's definitely a resemblance there. If you don't mind, I'm just going to assume that you had never heard of Albert Kahn either, and that should suffice as a temporary salve for my bruised ego. But I think it's a safe bet that you're very familiar with the man.

Damnation. Good night.
 
He also promoted education at the highest level through travelling scholarships
 
When I saw the title of this thread I expected it to be replete with ass kissing and heavy breathing... Like a bunch of women at a Brad Pitt appearance. I was pleased to learn something and get a laugh instead.

I didn't know Kahn, but from what I'm reading I am inclined to agree with the OP. Thanks.

Your appearance improves considerably after you've had your coffee then? :rolleyes:

Khan and Jim sure do look alike, although yes, Jim is much better looking :-)
 
I can't recommend the BBC book that is available alongside the doc series. it is incredible. Not only from a photographic standpoint but also from anthropological standpoint.

So Jim should be dubbed 'Parakhan' which literally means beyond Kahn. I like it!! Jim 'Parakhan' Jannard...
