MEDIA QUOTES:
According to Bay Weekly, December 26, 2011, Marion Warren’s studio manager, Joanie Surette said, “ Richard Olsenius is the only one authorized to continue printing his work.”
In the 2006 memorial article about Marion Warren, Inside Annapolis stated, “A successful association with photographer and printer, Richard Olsenius broadened Warren's portfolio by digitally remastering aging negatives and producing new archival prints, both in black and white and color.” These new prints by Olsenius produced some of his most detailed and richly printed work. "He kept raising the bar, showing you can be creative well into your 80s," Olsenius said. "He proved to me that the creative drive does not have physical limits." Olsenius recently launched a new online gallery of Warren's work at www.americanlandscapegallery.com.
The Baltimore Sun wrote in March 4, 2003, “He works now with fellow Annapolitan Richard Olsenius to print his most popular pictures with a digital method known as Piezography that enables a photographer to clean up scratched negatives and alter shadings - a process that can reveal surprising details in even the most familiar images.”
