Almost Perfect: Medical Mission to Vietnam
RICK MOHR, MIDWEST REVIEWER

Even after the end of the Vietnam War thirty years ago, the subject to many is still a touchy one, conjuring up images and memories that will always be a part of their lives...

Renowned photojournalist, Wayne Schoenfeld uses compelling photographs and accompanying text to tell the plight of Vietnamese children born with facial defects, and the team of physicians
who medically correct where nature has erred. We are shown the families and their wait for hours to get in to see the overworked and understaffed surgeons, and the faces of the parents with hopeful eyes. We are shown the children pre-surgery, and the challenges which they have to deal with on a daily basis in their young lives, yet still they have the same joyful love of life which can be found in the spirit of all children the world over... Almost Perfect is a work from the heart...

Surface Tension
L. CAMPELLO, The Frasier, Washington,DC

Easily the most inexhaustible subject and source of elegant eroticism there is available to artists and photographers is the limitless possibilities of the human animal. California photographer Wayne Schoenfeld joins a long history of photographers like Newton, Bernhardt, Sturges, Weston and many others to bring us yet new refreshing possibilities with the intelligent photographs presented in this book. I liked the way that Schoenfeld allowed the model's private elegance and subtle eroticism to come through; he has done an excellent job in coming forth as a new emerging photographer with a fresh approach to this wonderful subject.

Often one of the most overlooked aspects or genres of photography is the ability of a photographer to grab a certain nanosecond of time and leave behind an impression of a people or a culture that anchors that people in time forever. It looks easy because there are so many talented photographers who have left behind haunting images in magazines such as National Geographic, Look, Life, etc. Add Wayne Schoenfeld to the mix.... this California photographer brings us two incredibly different cultures; Turkey and Cuba, somehow unified by his gifted camera... disparate subjects that in a rather unusual manner come together beautifully as do many others, in this excellent book.

...to capture in the fleeting moment, the spirit of the subject. In this book, Schoenfeld not only accomplishes that task rather easily, but he also delivers a spectacular suite of works of two peoples cultures apart and yet bonded by the realities of a a world where their galvanized, often imposed cultures and values are being revised and changed before their eyes and lives.
