Some quotes about him

Richardson then landed assignments for Marie Claire, GQ, Harpers Bazaar, Big and other magazines. But in interviews he gave in the 1990s, Richardson had bitter words for editors.

"American magazines are cowards," he told PDN in 1997. "People like Liz Tilberis [of Harper's Bazaar] and Anna Wintour [of Vogue] should be ashamed of themselves. Most of the stuff they put out is shit. New York has definitely succeeded in raising mediocrity to an art form. It's ridiculous. In Europe I'm considered a genius; in New York I'm nobody."

And

Bob Richardson incorporated sex, drugs and violence into his photos, reflecting a turbulent period in history and creating images that were more about people than about fashion. He was one of a generation of photographers who changed the look of fashion photography in the 1960s, along with Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Lillian Bassman, David Bailey and others. Richardson is credited with influencing such photographers as Peter Lindbergh, Bruce Weber and Steven Meisel.

As I understand it, Terry's dad left early on in the piece and his mum was into the rock scene, took heaps of drugs and was on and off with a lot of top rockers. Terry ended up looking after her after an accident left her brain damaged. So Terry and his dad had a huge problem with each other, Bob ended up on the streets etc. Terry was helping him put together a book of his work, haven't heard if that has come out yet, but apparently he died aged 77 (http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20051218/news_lz1j18richard.html).

Magazine Editors are caught between income from advertisers and creative output, It takes a brave picture editor to unleash an image that may tarnish a brand advertiser. I have had images refused on the grounds of taste... so my answer is fuck them.. continue to push forward. At some stage they will catch up.. then you can tell them to fuck themselves twice..........

And what the maternal copulation censorship is this.. we talk candidly about porn aesthetic yet type the word fuck and you are fucked...... fick you you maternal copulation wank stain....... Jesus H christ it works.

So.. I cant type fuck but I can type fucking.. how fucking quaint.

Ha bleeding ha.. now clean up my images....

Nothing we can do about the talcum powder I'm afraid
