Trevor Bartlett, who used to work as a shooter for the Post, died. His death is sad in the shooting world. People who were lucky enough to know him will miss him a lot. Today, we remember an artist who was both very good at what he did and a kind master who was happy to share what he knew with others.
When I was learning the trade, Trevor had already retired, but his willingness to tell me interesting stories about the old Cloughie days had a big impact on how I learned the trade. He told stories that were like lively pictures of a time that he had taken with his camera. Not only did they show the events that made them timeless, but they also showed how people felt about those events.
It was fun to talk to Trevor because his stories took me back in time. I never saw the Cloughie years in the same way again. Only someone with his sharp eye and years of experience could do that. He loved telling stories about photography in every one of them. It was clear that his job wasn’t just a job; it was a love affair that would last forever.
Trevor Bartlett left behind a lot of skill, fire, and the important job of teaching people who want to learn. We’re proud of what Trevor has done for us as we say goodbye. He was a very important person in the history of photography. They will tell his stories through the eyes of those who were moved by him. Let’s remember and respect the person who made it fun to live in the past. His family is in our thoughts. We’re glad we had the chance to meet him.
