Saul Panzer (returned from reality alive) People In B&W - The Faroe Islands 2005-2006

If you would like to see some fine photographs of people, see the work on flickr by Saul Panzer, his assumed name from the dectective fiction of Rex Stout.  Fresh, relaxed, direct, empathetic portraits. Panzer shows great skill and sensitivity in his work.  Born in 1954. A real pleasure to view. Mostly in black and white.

Saul Panzer was the nom de web of Gunnar Hovgard.  Saul Panzer was an interesting choice. SP is a character in the long series of detective novels written by Rex Stout.  It is interesting that Gunnar chose Saul, a supporting character in the series, not the two main leads, Nero Wolfe or Archie Goodwin.  Panzer is described as virtually unnoticeable on the street, a major plus when tailing people, and as intelligent, experienced and possessing excelllent judgement. Wolfe trusts him without reservation, and Wolfe trusted only a few people.

Sadly Gunnar passed away in the summer of 2009, He was just 58.
