RIP: Providence Journal Photographer Bob Thayer
His shot of Oscar de la Renta earned a World Press Photo award.
For 37 years, Bob Thayer filled the pages of the Providence Journal with his distinctive shots. But this week, that long run came to a sudden end. On Wednesday, Thayer called in sick to work and on Thursday, after he failed to report to the office, a city rescue team was dispatched to his home, where he was found unresponsive. Thayer was 63.
