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.

What an amazing man, for so many reasons. He will definitely be missed.
I am embarrassed to admit I had no knowledge of Mr. Cardinot and his body of work. I have none of his films in my otherwise rather extensive personal collection... I must do something about that.
May he rest in peace.
When did Lewis Black direct gay porn? & he's dead, now?

@josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance...: Wow. I'm tragically unhip and clueless as to what you are referencing... Can you enlighten me, as I am lost?
Yours truly, with no sarcasm and in complete sincerity..
@charles_barrett: You're not missing anything. Just an attempt at being funny...too bad it failed. Miserably.
