Sorry I never heard of him but enjoyed seeing his early work. Did you know him personally. I've always been intreagued by the culture in the UK, especially during the 60's, 70's onward. I'll have to see if I can find some more of his latter work or perhaps you know someones work I may have overlooked.

Sorry to hear. Very creative, insightful, and human photographer.

As above, but I have to say that England was easy picking in the post war years until post Beatles. I wish I had been there rather than living in the boring northwest of the USA. He was good and he got out and did it. Rather than sitting around in a studio and taking photos of famous people.

My favorite:

I liked his photographs from the 1950s.

He lived a full life.

Rest in peace.
