Hi Everyone,
I walked by our university library's new book shelf and saw a new
coffee table book-sized retrospective "Fritz Henle: In search of
beauty" by U of TX Curator of Photography, Roy Flukinger. Took it
home and am now interested in finding more of Fritz's own books
(China, Japan, Mexico, Casals etc.).
The book is a unique tribute to Rollei Photography. The issue of
Henle's choice and strict faith to the Rollei comes up all the
time. The books first and last images feature a life-sized front
and back of the Rolleiflex 2.8 Planar Platinum "Fritz Henle" .
The book already got me to shoot more with my 3.5E last weekend in
Plymouth, MA. Perhaps I am drawn to Henle because he grew up near
my home area (Dortmund) and left Germany at about the same age as I
did.
