Whenever the Pic Ed said Bryan was to be the ‘tog with whom I would be doing a job, I knew it would be a good day. He always worked perceptively as a team, ensuring that the shot he was getting would marry with and lift a story. He cared about the journo’s ideas for the story but was not afraid to make his own suggestions which were, of course, usually excellent since he was a seasoned pro. And, let’s face it, there are only so many stories in the world. The big skill is to breathe a sense of newness into familiar old themes. Bryan had that skill along with a lovely, even temperament and a joie de vivre which made him a treasure among workmates. Vale.
