I am a huge 'fan' of Bill Jay's work... and recommend any of his books... e.g. "On Being a Photographer: a Practical Guide" 1997 with David Hurn -or- "Cyanide and Spirits: an Inside-Out View of Early Photography" (1991).
Here is a link to "Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay" (running time 1 hour 35 minutes).

Did not know of him beforehand. I do enjoy the Janus philosophy very much, it was a point I had made myself the first New Year's post that I shared here on January 1st . Thanks! Filip
That quote has a William Faulkner feel to it...
without any negative connotations. Photographic history seen as a positive aspect. At 95 minutes the video is might be a bit long for casual viewing, but if you find the time there is some value there. Casey
