I miss this man a lot – he was passionate, opinionated and generous, and a good friend who stayed young and connected in part through a lifetime in photography. He joined Magnum in his twenties, and remained actively involved with the organization until he passed away in 2010. His best known image was perhaps the 1955 portrait of James Dean in Times Square, called The Boulevard of Broken Dreams. He advised (admonished ??) me to slow down and truly engage a scene while photographing – it was something he had a lifetime of doing.
