It always makes me feel old and sad when an iconic figure from my youth kicks the bucket. He lived a long and presumably awesome life, but it still hurts to think that he is gone.

Launched the full body woman collection after he realized most overweight girls walk around feeling ashamed of themselves. I know a few models/photographers that have paid homage to his work by doing a similar theme for models
