He was a very talented photographer, his photos really caught the essence of the subject, his talent will be missed. May he Rest In Peace.

The photography world has lost a talented artist. May his vision and legacy live on.

May he rest in peace. Looks like he had great taste in pipes too. A Danish freehand by the looks of it. Perhaps a Preben Holm.

Saw that in the paper. A gifted artist. And what a great advertisement for tobacco pipes, even now.

Thanks for posting this. Wonderful article and photos too. Nice to see old Nikon equipment also. Took a little knowledge and work to get the pics that he did.

I was looking through his photographs from different websites. I found this one of Donald Trump taken in 1980.
