Don Marks taking photo of praying mantis - Florida

from Florida Memory

  Now, I didn't know a 55mm lens from a .50 cal. machine gun, back in 1960, but I have never seen a macro lens ( which he would need to shoot something like a mantis closeup) that looked anything like that. If anything, it resembles my first (1969) 500mm telephoto. If the actual target was an osprey nest in the Everglades, he might have a lens like that, but not for a bug. I have a feeling that Mr. Marks was hamming it up for the camera in this shot. Even if he isn't clowning, his helmet makes him look like an official photographer for the North Vietnamese Army.

  Hamming it up indeed:)
