Peter Duke finally on flickr

Fashion photog and interactive design mavin Peter Duke has finally opened the vaults of his photos from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and put them up on flickr. What a treat.

Back when Peter and I worked together at Newscorp / Fox, I’d hear him talk about his days as a professional photographer… always hoping I’d get to see his craft. Payday!

Check out Peter’s photographs here.

I’m devistated this evening to report that my friend Steven Criqui died last month. Steven was a personal mentor to me and an inspiration to all those who met him. We was also a terrific artist. The L.A. Times published a brief obituary about Steven. Short, pleasant, factual - but not accurrate. It doesn’t convey his humanity and sharp talent.

Stay tuned. I’ll publish more thoughts on Steven soon. I loved him. You would have too had you met him. In the meantime, here are some photos I took of him in 2000 in his Echo Park studio.

I also invite you toÂ look at Steven’sÂ flickrÂ photos. You can see the love that surrounded him in the face of the protraits he took.
