"Howard's Hands" by NKW - My dear friend and mentor Howard McKenzie, aka "Howard", "Mac", "Sonny", "Colonel", "Captain", or "Howard Franklin" seated at the metal detector greeting clerks and lawyers as they enter the courthouse. His nickname and vocation have changed through the years, however his reputation has remained steadfast and true. He knows everyone's name, remembers everyone's troubles at home because he cares. His hands reflect who he is as a man, sharp, clean, warm, strong and wise, they just don't make em' like that anymore, I'm honored to call him my friend. The photography tips he teaches me are priceless. Frankly I learn volumes about life just watching him interact with people, he reminds of my own father… (shot w/Canon t4i w/50mm F1.4 lens)
Nick is a living legend, he's taller than Daniel Boone and a little better fighter. Nick's a supporter of our Constitution. He's a photographer, and avid camper. Nick slaps men at random just to keep his edge. A grizzly bear attacked Nick while he was unarmed, within seconds the bear was on it's back and Nick was burning it's chest with a Kentucky grown cigar. Nick spent 10 years lookin' for Bigfoot, just so he could challenge it to a fist fight. Nick extracted his own wisdom teeth.
Some Truth about the Man
- Nick Koch Weiler - Artistic Black & Whites
- Nick's developed his own style over the years, a dark style with heavy shadows, the movement is spared resulting in a haunting, dramatic effect in his work. Nick almost exclusively uses old school film era Takumar lenses...ask Nick why, he'd love to tell you..
