Helping Hands, Basketball & A Stork – Featured Member Photos – December 4, 2013

Featured Photographers PhotographyREVIEW.com News Photos

We’re featuring a very special photo in this batch of Featured Member Photos. Paul Maskens, a.k.a. “SmartWombat,” has been with us pretty much since the beginning (PhotographyREVIEW.com was launched in 1999). He usually photographs motorsports but for the past few months he’s been shooting a new, more personal subject. His wife Angie recently had a stroke and he’s been giving updates on her treatment and recovery on our forums and Facebook. That inspired him to start taking pictures of people holding hands in hospital. The photos are very moving and intimate. Click on the photo below to see more of Paul’s “Helping Hands” photos in the Photo Critique forum.
