Bill Jay - the author, photographic educator, founding editor of Creative Camera magazine and regular contributor to Ag magazine and LensWork - has died in his sleep last Sunday, aged 69.
Born in London, Jay had lived and worked in the USA for many years. Having effectively retired, but still working when ill health allowed, he relocated last year from San Diego to Costa Rica. An appreciation will be published in the next issue of Ag. The photograph of Bill is a self-portrait.
