I met Antonin back in 1994 at the Cape May Photo Workshop in NJ. He’s a good brother from another mother. I really appreciated the article.
“He’s still alive, baby. That little bitch is still alive,”
I took a http://fotovision.org workshop from him in Berkeley a few years back. You’ll never meet a more down-to-earth, thoughtful guy.
Met Antonin last year at a UNC Presentation of his. I say: get to know his work and understand his life and it may change your vision.
I met Antonin during a workshop in Prague when I was just a kid…about 22. He is – hands down – the most down-to-earth photographer I’ve met. A great role model… both in attitude and (exceptional) talent.
