It's being reported on the LF Forum that Phil Davis has died.

He is the guy who created the Beyond The Zone System or BTZS.

Sad news.

Sad news indeed David. A wonderful photographer, printer and educator. He will be missed.

Didn't know him, but he sure left his footprints in the sand.

I am deeply saddened by this news. Davis moved the stake forward probably more than any other photographer.

This is sad news.

He left a legacy we can all be thankful for, a sad day indeed.

 

[Russ Young]

Sad indeed, perhaps the nearly last of his generation of accomplished, talented and modest photographers who spent much of their energy as educators both at universities and as workshop providers.

I took Phil's BTZS workshop in Bisbee about a decade ago and it remains the only photo-workshop that was worth the money- and it was great fun as well.

Godspeed.
