That a surprise to you? The guy was 95, probably about time. His stuff is pretty cool.

Yep, I love most of his works.

Well, damn, I didn't even realize he was still alive!

RIP Henri. Thank you for all you have done for the art of photography.

Yep, I saw that earlier today. Another influential, respected photographer leaves the planet.

::moment of silence::


I thought it odd that the writer of this article felt it necessary to report that "the cause of death has not been announced." Um. He was 95. He didn't NEED a cause. :roll:

That's what I thought when I heard. HCB's work was some of the first photography to inspire my interest.

what a loss, i coulda sworn he was dead too. But he gave up photography a long time ago as well. He was truly one of the greats!
