Sometimes you see something you can't resist on e***--in this case, a 1952
Wardflex, which I thought would be a great conversation piece for my friend
Ward Marston, who also dates from '52.  (I even shot the portrait with
1952-era film.)  He strikes a pose with the Wardflex:

M2, CV 35/1.2, Efke 100, wide open at 1/60.

In spite of the photojournalist pose, Ward's not all that active a
photographer (he's been blind since birth), but he is one of the world's top
transfer engineers for historic recordings.  More about his work at his
website www.marstonrecords.com
