Maasai Maid.

by Peter Elgar

When the Pentax Club used to run trips organised by Peter and Lix Cox I went to Kenya with the Club. I took my 6x7 mark 1 hoping to get some good pics for my Agency, Picturepoint -- well, I never got any sales and then Picturepoint was taken over by TopFoto and they only want 'Digital' so all my trannies have been returned -- here is one, taken on the 100mm f2.4 lens with a small Sunpak flash, Agfa slide film.

Thanks for your views -- it's a pity it was never used in an agency -- I went to all that trouble lugging the 6x7 to Kenya for no sales !
