Remembering Jay Maisel, plus EISA's camera of the year
From the Editor
Photography has lost one of its most influential figures: Jay Maisel, whose seven-decade career earned him the ICP Infinity Award and ASMP Lifetime Achievement honours, has died at 95. Elsewhere, EISA has named the Sony Alpha 7 V Camera of the Year after testing from 16 specialist publications, and Nick Haymes's two-decade family project Chronograph traces his sons' lives from childhood into adulthood.
