Bill Bailey, 2007 - a photo on Flickriver

Bill Bailey, 2007

            Sadly Bill died a couple of days ago. Fortunately he was at home, with family. Though this doesn't sound abnormal, it certainly is today.

I shall remember him on the day that I took this picture. He told me stories. I melted him into his paintings. He was a wonderful person, with great taste. A generous teacher.

William Bailey, 1930-2020

I took pictures of Bill in the summers of 2007 and 2008 in his studio in Italy. These were shot with a mixture of natural light and a Metz 45 bouncing off of the ceiling, if I remember correctly. Taken with my M3 and the Summar 50/2 wide open. I love how the softness of the lens has blended the planes of the painting and the three dimensional space into one, bringing the painted character to life.
