Street Photographer John Free R.I.P.

I had not realized he passed away in March.

I first learned of John Free on Ted Forbes Art of photography channel

Aside from being a great photographer he was a fabulous motivator and teacher.  Listening to him speak he sounds like an artist and a poet.  I regret never having attended one of his classes.

I think a few of you, if you don't already know about him will really enjoy his videos.

I especially like this one on Photographing Tramps in LA Freight Yards.

I have never heard of John Free until your post. I watched the video you linked "Photographing Tramps in LA Freight Yards".... fascinating. Thanks for posting this.

I binge watched all the videos.  really inspiring. Especially about discipline and working to get close to people. 

 

LOL, it made me feel even worse about having sold my F3 to a co-worker about 10 years ago.  I actually went up to him and asked if I could buy it back and he sold it back to me.  It needed CLA so it's in the shop now. 

I actually bought a couple rolls of film.
