I had posted a thread a few weeks ago, but in the wrong forum accidentally. Anybody have any thoughts on his work? I like his Road photographs.

Naw !! I see though that you've been takin' literature lessons (ebay 101) from dagor77 from those auction listings of yours !! Well Done!!

Actually, I took my literature lessons at University of Texas and Rice University.

He's dead.

That's a major bummer. I hadn't heard he had died.

I think Fee is (was) one of the best living photographers. Great stuff. His landscape work was extraordinary. He was one of the few who was able to see landscape work as more than a dead-end exercise in creating pretty pictures--going over the same old ground, again and again.

I am greatly saddened to hear the news.
