Mike Lax

28 June 1940 - 20 April 2006

Sound Recordist

A larger than life product of 1960s cultural life, sound recordist Lax had a Zelig-like ability to be in the right place at the right time. Among his most prized possessions was a book signed by photographer Henri Cartier Bresson inscribed: 'to Mike Lax, who sees with his ears'.
