Today it occurred to me to look at my L/R catalog to recall what photographs I happened to have made on the day of Bill’s passing on August 3, a few weeks ago and several days before I learned. I found four images, including this one taken while I was browsing books from my bedside art and photo library. It shows the famed image taken by W. Eugene Smith in 1951 of a wake in a Spanish village (published originally in LIFE Magazine). Smith, as noted here in Bill’s Bio, was one of Bill’s photographic heroes.
(visual note 8/3/2021 from Aperture’s 1973? edition W. Eugene Smith monograph)
These are the other three images that I made and/or worked that day:
-
- Rework of Self-Portrait from November 2014
-
- Tai Chi Shoes & Books (out-take)
-
- Cellphone Selfie 8/3/21
Finally, as previously noted, on August 3, I rediscovered and posted to this blog a 1976 photograph of Bill in Death Valley.
