The photos featured on this site are just small sample of his archive, which has been assembled by his wife Barbara Villet, an author and journalist and his partner on many of the essays he shot.  The work done on the collection has been under the auspices of an effort to perserve his photographic legacy both as art and historic document, and to publish a definitive retrospective of the work in print form.  The hope is that interest in this site and the photos featured herein will help to motivate the book’s publication.  Anyone interested in aiding in its publication can contact us at book@greyvillet.com.
