This was to enable her to keep his legacy alive by continuing to contribute his images to publications and exhibitions. Justine is exploring her father's archives to find images that haven't been widely seen before, which will then be added to the Martin Jenkinson Image Library website. https://martinjenkinson.photoshelter.com/
