Au Revoir, Jean-Daniel Cadinot

We're sad to hear via Gay Porn Times that director, photographer, and activist Jean-Daniel Cadinot-- one of gay porn's true legends--died this week of a heart attack; in his final blog entry on Wednesday, he wrote, "May all the efforts and work of a whole life, the quest for the moment of pure truth in the sublime communion of two beings under the spell of the undefinable desire for the other, inspire those who inherit my heart." We'll be digging up our old VHS copy of "Service Actif" (one of the first porn flicks we actually remember buying) for a private memorial screening this weekend; in the meantime, see why we'll continue to be inspired by his life's work after the jump.
