I am asking friends, colleagues and followers to join me in donating to a fund set up for the family of @desboylan who died suddenly late last year (the link is in my profile). Desmond was a legend among photographers. He was not a household name because he didn’t really seem to care about recognition or awards but he was just as good if not better than the photographers you have heard of. It dawned on me the other day that I never actually worked with Desmond, if anything we were competitors. But if you were in the field with him though you felt like you were on the same team. He would share what info he had, a joke or a cigar with you. I would see him take a photo and then later when I saw the photo online somewhere I would think, “How did he do that?” Desmond and the way he saw the world will be very missed.
