Bravo Maris,
Great talent both sides of the lens in this glorious preternatural portrait charged with the exuberant spirit and personality of Ken Wenzell. Clearly mirrored, also, is the admiration and respect which the photographer holds his sitter.

Maris, What a gem! The counterpoint of the ever so slight arc of the water current ripples with the almost imperceptible arc of the ribbing of the base of the hull and the sweep lines to the prow which make this much more than just an upturned dinghy on a sandy, debris strewn shore. Given that you'r...

This is a wonderfully embracing experience of not just 'being there' but of being surrounded and enticed into a fantaasy eorld like children's book in which tree trunks have caricature grimaces.

My first proper camera when I was leaving school was a Mamiyaflex C2 with a Mamiya-Sekor 105mm 1:3.5 lens which was an absolute cracker and, I believe it was a Heliar design. The 'directing' is to ...
