I was shocked and very saddened to find this out this morning. I hadn't talked to him in months, maybe a year. I will always remember great times in the studio hanging on every word of one of his stories. He wouldn't except anything less than the best in his Photographs. He was an incredible artist! My condolences to his family. You'll be greatly missed Brian!
