William Claxton dead

Any of the denim geeks here will know this guy's photos, including some of the best ones you've seen of McQueen, or Chet Baker.

He was apparently a gent, too. Friends with my neighbour Graham Marsh, who did the Blue Note Album Art Book, and cut us a decent deal on the denim book cover 'cause he liked the idea. He was a pleasure to deal with, I'm sorry I never got to meet him.

Check thru some of his photos here:

This is sad news.

His McQueen pictures collection is a must for any fan; it never stays long on my bookshelf, friends are always borrowing it - 'hey you know that McQueen book you got...'

There are jazz legends on that website above. I'm going to spend some time getting to know the Blue Note work now.
