Friends, I'm delurking to to note the passing of one
of my favorite photographers, William Gottlieb, who
died
this week, after a long and brilliant career:

The Library of Congress has a site devoted to his
early work...

...which includes some absolutely iconic images, such
as this one of Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie:

Tough spring.  First Gordon Parks, now Gottlieb.

BTW, the Digital Journalist has a terrific tribute to
Parks this month, with commentaries, reminiscences and
a gallery:
