RIP Ravi Shankar. So sad this is my 2nd such post this week. A true legend I shot with his beautiful daughter, Anoushka. Wonderful man.

RIP SIr Patrick Moore. I went to Selsey twice to shoot him, didn't get the shot I wanted first, so went back unannounced and knocked on door with a bottle of whiskey and got this shot. Great character.
