A Wise, Iconoclastic Voice - Bill Jay obituary - 05-16-2009, 07:12 PM


"It is a fine day in May, and the trees are leafing out, showing the bright tender green I associate with newness, and the sun is shining, and the news from Costa Rica is that Bill Jay has died in his sleep."

Full obituary and the importance of Bill Jay to photography.

It appears that photography has lost a very good person. I've visited his website, and love the articles. I plan on downloading more to read.

Just read "The Thing Itself" and would recommend it as a must read.

I saved a copy of this essay on a hard disk, and just came across it again. For those who have not seen it, you should do yourself a favor and take the 10-20 minutes or so that it might take to read this!
