Photography Loses a Great Friend

Bill Jay 1940-2009

One of the greatest figures in contemporary photography has died. Bill Jay's writing and photographs are an inspiration to me and to my own pursuit of the medium and he influenced artists across the globe. I would personally reach out to Bill Jay's articles when I was feeling lost with photography and he was always able to put me back on track. Every student I have ever had has read at least one of Bill Jay's articles, his writing is witty, clever and down to earth.

We will miss you Bill Jay.
