My father shot this very same camera and Verichrome Pan when I was a kid,
and he did so with similar talent and effect. I am grateful to have learned
the lesson early in my life that the camera is not what counts...
accordingly I always spent modestly on hardware but did try to shoot as much
film as I could afford.
I think a large part of what my father and Sanders are able to do is build
comfort, trust and a relationship with the subjects they shoot, and it shows
in the images. Of course, I am not just referring to Melanie, Sanders ;-)
