A Sweet Blast from the Past

Two years ago, I posted about the sudden death of John Marshall, my undergrad photography mentor. Last year, I shared some photos from a wonderful memorial for him at his house

Last week, I stopped by his widow's home because she had some more photography equiptment of John's for the college where I'm teaching, and she also smiled and handed me this:

That was the copy of the NY Times Magazine that I'd shot the cover photo. It's not an image I'm necessarily super proud of, but it was an experience I was proud of. John still had the copy that I gave him, and I had forgotten that he had wanted me to sign it (lower right). I hadn't laid eyes on that cover for at least a decade.

Thanks John. We miss you.
