George Tice, ‘Bard of New Jersey’ With a Camera, Dies at 86
He found beauty in the prosaic: bars, phone booths, hamburger joints, barber shops — first in a downtrodden Paterson, then throughout the state and beyond.
Some of his work:

Now 84, George Tice revisits his life work in a six-decade magnum opus premiering at The Photography Show presented by AIPAD.

NYT has a paywall, so I couldn't read that article, and be careful if you click on the Blind-Magazine link and accidentally hit the back button, it then too has a paywall.
I was able to read the Blind-Magazine piece, he sounds like a fascinating, talented guy. Who did really interesting work.
Best,

Sad to learn of his death. Was a student in a class that he taught at Apeiron in the 60's in upstate N.Y.

@maigo thank you for posting that video. I'm an admitted neanderthal when it comes to photography, but, being born in NJ I had to watch it.
Kind of makes me wish I'd taken a photography class at least once in my life. I don't think I have the patience to spend that much time taking a photo and making a print.

For me, one of the most interesting things was that his mother was born into a Traveler clan.

Never too late! Or consider taking a workshop with someone whose work resonates with you. There are many options.
