Who am I to write a correct 30th anniversary obituary about this kind, gentle giant of a large format photographer? It would perhaps be more fitting if some of you would offer your thoughts about him and his work —about his influences on you or how his vision might have effected you.
In any case, de^kuji vám, Pan kolega Sudek. For me, you proved that it is not necessary to shout to be heard at the four corners of the earth. You transformed your personal tragedy into visual pleasure for a multitude who may never know of your personal anguish. Not quite a martyr, but surely a master. Rest in peace, and rest assured that you will not be forgotten.
