Default Peter Beard RIP

The American photographer's body has been found in woods near his home on Long Island. He was 82.

Thanks for posting. Your posts, Collas, often with interesting links to Guardian pieces has always pricked my conscience regarding payment to them.

While I have never read and rarely bought a newspaper for myself, I do like the 'Guardian' and some of their articles. My sister used to read it and my father was their 'Winter Sports Correspondent' back in the mists of time. I have, therefore, finally given in and made a donation.

Don't be so hard on yourself, big paul, we are given the life that we have and we are not all (thank goodness) in a position to do the things that some do and achieve. Be grateful for what you have, like your 'proper' photography, and enjoy it.
Mike

Agreed. The Guardian is easily the best of the English dailies. I used to enjoy the Independent; but then it became unavailable in Ireland before changing completely.

Some of his photos are featured in this article from the Guardian.
