I'm really not down with BuzzFeed editing my original post, and I've got to say that I'm pretty disgusted that they're posting that it was drug related without confirmation. The original post was intended to put out the word that a great guy would be missed, not to make a spectacle out of that loss.

It is really a shame. I loved his photography. I write about art criticism as a part of my job and I have studied photography in my undergrad. I wanted to write to him and ask him about his unpublished collaborative essay on Dangerous Art as well as some areas that he could expand on for the editor (the mag wouldn't publish it but he didn't know why according to his post). I assumed that I would have time to send him a message saying that later. Now I never will.
Sad. His collaborative essay:

He may be seen as only Joseph GL's brother to most people, but from what I've read about him he seemed like an awesome guy. A real free spirit. R.I.P.

I was really bummed because I thought it was Joseph, they look so simliar. Sad, but I'm not sure how I should know him.

What a bummer. He looked like he was a cool dude.

The guy called himself “Burning Dan”, pretty safe to assume it was drugs.

Who?
