Hello:
ReplyDeleteSuch an immensely creative talent and rather an enigma. That is what appeals so much.
We love the bold black and white photography with no shades of grey. Rather like the man behind the camera we think.
The collection of images which you have presented in this portfolio of KL has been absolutely beguiling. Wonderful!
Thank you very much for your appreciation of this post. I spent some serious time researching before doing these posts otherwise I would not have done justice to the man. He deserves the best. Since we get the best from him too.
ReplyDeleteI think all the great creative personalities have and had some enigma. Probably creative people are like onion, layer upon layer, you keep peeling and keep getting surprised.
