Jay Maisel Kept Looking

[SunshineD]

Jay Maisel spent more than seven decades making photographs and teaching photographers how to see. His work was grounded in light, gesture, color, and above all, attention.

We look back at his photography, his teaching, and the ideas that shaped his approach to making pictures.

Is there a Part 2 to that video?

[Rob C]

I didn't know that Jay had passed away.

Soon, there'll be none of the Golden Age old guard left.

R.I.P.

Hard to believe it's nearly 20 years…
The one image of the person chimping photos he took under his shirt is of course Jay!
Note his lens-cleaning technique. 😱

Jay once remarked at an ASMP workshop in Nashville I attended that "if you don't have something to say, consider a career as an accountant." This thought - and a couple of others equally as powerful - have been my guideposts over my life. Even now, as a university concert promoter, I ask what the artist has to say, and why, before booking them for a performance and workshops.
