Thanks for sharing. In the last 2-3 years we have lost a lot of the great masters including Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton.

Had seen this yesterday and he really was talented--always liked his Papua New Guinea shots. BTW, always loved what Helmut Newton said when proposing to his wife--"My work will always come first." :-) I have had g/f's before say that I love my camera more than them, but the current g/f says that about the camera and my espresso machine. Yet she is still my g/f for a long time so she seems ok with it. :-)

My camera is my girlfriend, and guess what, my wife doesn't mind.....

I am glad the three of you can get along. :-)
