Taken with Minolta 500mm mirror lens - Frank Gardner

Got some pictures that I would like my readers to give comments on the mirror lens that is used for taking this pictures. You could say it was luck or faith to meet this gentlemen that gave me another reason to live my life the way I wanted (with God grace). He inspire me to see life further from it's context. Hardship is just another illusion for failure if we succumb to it.
Mr Frank Gardner is a journalist and a correspondent for BBC Security Correspondent.
Mr Gardner also the author of Sand and Blood *best seller ( a story how he and his cameraman was gunned down during their work as journalist in Riyadh, Saudi Arab. He was shoot six times but miraculously survived the ordeal. However he needs a wheel chair or supporter to move around this days but this has not deter his determination to live as he has lived before.
With his courtesy and kindness he gave some shots for memories.
