Eugene Smith, Mydans, Eisenstadt, Cartier-Bresson, George Thams - I don't know about the kids on this list, but the 35 shooters grew up on are disappearing fast...or are already long dead. I think George Rodger is still alive, the last original member of Magnum...But he's got to be in his late 80s, if not older. Ah well...Actually, it's more than a bit ironic that the generation that pioneered 35 mm film photography and film are disappearing at about the same time. ;-) B.
