JOSEF SUDEK

Dear Sophie -

Ah, today is a particularly special day.  The Czech photographer, Josef Sudek.  A real gift. 

Sudek lived in Prague. He started as a bookbinder, but gravitated to photography, and founded the Czech Photographic Society in 1924. One arm was amputated after suffering a WWI injury and was sometimes aided by assistants with his heavy large format camera. Apparently he was shy, never married and had a renowned record collection of classical music says wikipedia.
