Lex van Rossen, R.I.P.

Lex is dead. I knew he was ill, but it's still a shock. Lex shot the cover photo of my book. I've always been disappointed with the way the print came out and I have been meaning to fix that in the pdf version I've been working on, on and off. To give that image the full page it deserves. I knew Lex from going to concerts in the 80s and 90s. He was always in my way (for the first three songs) and we'd laugh about it - he wasn't the tallest himself. He was a fantastic photographer, a real craftsman and one of my photography heroes. He must be taking pictures of angels now.

Here is some of his work. You may know it.
- Chris Isaak's Heart Shaped World
- Bono vs De Kuip
