Allen Daviau has passed away

Damn that's a shame. I'll never forget his cinematography for Empire of the Sun, and I just watched Avalon a couple weeks ago and it was beautiful too. He had such a unique visual style. Love his use of warm light, and reflection (there's a beautiful scene in Avalon of a burning factory reflected perfectly in puddles of water on a wet street--it almost looks like a Kinkade painting). The visuals in his Spielberg collabs are so inviting and comforting.

RIP underrated genius
