Everyone i just got word that one of the photogs and friend Jerry Lewis aka Big G has about 6 months left to live i heard this and was pretty upset.I also came to find out that people were just taking his photos and getting rid of the water marks and using them as you can read in his last leter on his website below.I have shot with him at various contests great guy and all around nice person.It saddin me to know that people can and will take advantage of people.Big G just wanted to be a good sports action photographer and make surfers such as myself happy by shooting photos of us and hopefully selling them cheap for us to use but peope were being sneaky.
So today he told me that he wont beable to shoot anymore and that breaks my heart.Big G also gave me the attched photo which were the last ones he will ever shoot .And all he asked is for me to keep them and do what i wanted with them.
So i wanted to share them with you and if you can find something you can use them for please do so..They are how they are attached they might be small and low rez .But if you can use them please do Big G would be stoked.
Please say a prayer for him.
Thanks
