[Leica] IMG: Stop!

[Gerry Walden]

Over my 50+ years of photography many books have been a great influence on the way I see, and I could probably make a list as long as your arm, but few have had an effect that has made me rethink the way I work or see the world. In essence what we are saying is name he photographers who have changed us, and up there has to be people like Jeanloup Sieff, Cartier-Bresson, Ernst Haas and many others.
However a book entered my life recently, namely 'Light, Gesture and Color' by Jay Maisel which knocked me sideways, and has made me look at my environment through totally different eyes. To this end I am adding here one of my latest images which is so far out of the normal for me. I hate to say it but I don't care whether you like it or or not, it is for me and Jay!
