Thanks for these links, the second one is his work. I never heard of him but I really like his style.

I agree. I had never heard of him either (despite being in the UK), but having now seen his work, I'm impressed.

Not someone I knew of. Love the 60s and 70s look of Colin's reportage work and will look up his book.

Thanks for sharing.

There was a nice exhibition of his work last year in the City Leica shop in the Royal Exchange. A rather untimely death as his reputation seemed to gaining quite a bit of momentum in recent years.
