    In 1979 Duffy decided to call it a day and gave up photography, burning many of his negatives,though some were saved from the fire when the council objected to the smoke. Although a large amount of his images have been lost, the ones that remain stand collectively as a comprehensive visual history of twenty-five years of British culture and fashion.


    In 2009, at the behest of his son, Chris, Duffy started working again and took a series of photographs of people he had photographed in the 60's and '70's. The story of his early career and comeback is documented in a BBC documentary shown in January, 2010 titled "The Man Who Shot the 60's".

    Yeah, picked this up the other day. Interesting it was only earlier today that the bbc news were reporting on it (at least maybe first time I saw them). The link below is to the British Journal of Photographer article on his death.
