Default Jane Bown RIP

The Observer's long-term photographer, Jane Bown, has died. She used a Rolleiflex at the start of her career, but is best known for her use of Olympus cameras.

The lady took some photos that epitomised that time from the immediate post-war era up to what seems like yesterday to me without being unnecessarily intrusive.

This is sad news. I have two of her books, 'Faces' and 'Unseen Bown'.
Rest in peace Jane.
