Montaigne:"There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to." I use a fifty years old Leica M3 to take photos, then develop the film and hand-prints myself on double-weight baryta paper and very rarely crop before scanning them to upload on the internet. The process is the classical approach with tremendous time and expense involved, which is why original hand-prints tend to be on the seemingly dear side. Which means this is a great opportunity for you and myself to make the prints more accessible on this website through the 'Print on Demand' service. To purchase original hand-prints and signed by myself with some limited editions, please visit: http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/m/marjan/ For further information about the significance of the bra and a giggle, please visit: http://www.hercircleezine.com/archives/spring06/MarjanKindersley.html As most of my work has often been described as "with a quirky sense of humour", I sincerely hope that you will find pleasure in the photos, as I take the greatest pleasure in creating them.
