More then just Photography !

Over the last couple weeks I have been getting comments and emails about the photo's on the blog. Many that recognise Jengish's style have commented on the fact that they can tell he is here... The fact is that some of the photo's are his, and the rest, are simply is influence.... let me explain... I am a big picture kind of guy, and writing is difficult for me....that is why I would use photo's that had a lot of information in them to tell the story.... Jengish is a very personal kind of guy... he is not afraid to focus right into someones sole as it were... the eye's being the window to the sole. Let me give you an example...

After swimming, as we got out of the van at the Restaurant, one of the men that was there to watch, began to have some sort of a fit... he got into the front of the bus and started crying and banging the wheel... Larisa quickly tried to call for the Dr ...Isar calmly stepped back to let things play out, I tried to keep everyone moving so a crowd would not form and so the others would not have watch. Jengish instantly stopped what he was doing and went strait to the man... he got right into his space, while the man was still freaking out jengish put his arm around him and began to talk quietly into the mans ear... an amazing peace came over the man and the two of them went into the restaurant to join the others..It was all over .. This just seemed to be the most normal thing for Jengish, and he was not at all flustered....

As every one was sitting in the restaurant, I went around from table to table to talk to every one... When I got to the table of about six of the men and Jengish, he just looked up at me as said "Man I love these guys"... He is teaching about more then just photography!
