For a while he lived a few doors away from one of my aunts and uncles on the Towpath in Shepperton and one of my cousins used to baby sit for him and Faye Dunaway.

He was an excellent photographer, sad days.

He was a great photographer. I once read an interview with him and he was as intelligent with his mind & tongue as in his work.

Loved the final quote in the obit:

Quote:
“The perfectionist in me always left me thinking I could have taken a better shot. But now when I look at photos of all the icons I’ve shot – like Mandela, Sir Winston Churchill and Sinatra – the memories come flooding back and I think: yeah, I did all right.”

If you happen to be in Gstaad then you can pop along and see this posthumous exhibition of Terry O'Neill's photos of celebrities.
