Alexis , I first met jay Thompson through a friend of his that I worked with in Beverly Hills in 1977. She was a model/ hostess , and I was a captain, (waiter). I needed head shots and she called jay. He took three or four rolls of film at his studio and gave me some of the prints. He also gave me a book he published in 1971 and signed it. He was a true zen spirit. She left for Japan on a modeling job and I never saw either again. John Lennon did the forward for his book. He was truly a gifted artist. Sadly he passed away at 68. Best to you. Joe Capone. Los Angeles California...
