Sadly he died late last year even more tragic some friends were in
contact with him to obtain and scan much of his "unpublished" work but He
died before this task was fulfilled and we understand his sister
destroyed many hundreds of his photos when the house was cleared
There is an obituary on Johnies site
Cosmos
Ps
I will post his published work later in my on going series Book posts
