The man is humble and self effacing yet has a backbone of steel and full understanding of his worth and that of his collection.
It makes me miss our WannaJumpMyScooter. He would post photos of some of his cameras lined up like pretty maids.
WJMS is photographing Asheville, and active in various stuff. My son runs across his tracks at times. I miss him.

I liked the natural presentation of the subject - as you say, he came across as very special, and yet an ordinary man, if that makes any sense. The video was posted by World Photography Day on FB.

I miss seeing WJMS' photos here, too. He has a great eye.
