I flipped through that issue yesterday at Joseph-Beth Booksellers. That was a pretty impressive portfolio, very moody yet peaceful. I like her work a lot.

I liked the article about Bill Jay. I had no idea he edited the magazine Creative Camera. That mag and Leica Fotografie were my staples when I started to take photography seriously. Lenswork is an excellent magazine too.

Peter,
Creative Camera was a great magazine and particularly formative for a number of us young (at the time it started as Camera Owner) British photographers. Then the photographer Jurgen Schadeberg was then the assistant editor, but it had the odd article from Bill Jay from time to time. It got better under Colin Osman as publisher, with Bill and later Pete Turner editing but unfortunately IMHO greatly declined after the British Arts Council took over funding and Pete Turner left.
I still have all the early copies from the Camera Owner days (1965) through till the end of 1986 and they are still worth reading.
The other great British photography magazine that preceded Creative Camera was "Photography" under the editorship of Norman Hall. I have a few copies but luckily am not quite old enough to say it was an influence at the time of publication.

I recently met, and chatted with Bill Jay. Very nice guy, very informative. I'll have to scan and submit the snap of him signing my Bill Jay books for us.
