Fred Herzog RIP

[FishyFish]

With all the media attention around Robert Frank's death, it seems to have gone largely unnoticed that Fred Herzog died on the same day.

He was 88 years old.

His book "In Color" is on my pile of unread titles.

It seems inappropriate to "Like" a post announcing a death, so I'll just say "thanks" for letting us know.

It's always sad to hear of the death of an iconic photographer.

That’s sucks . He’s the first photographer that made me really enjoy colour and take colour photos myself.

And curiously he and Robert Frank both died in Canada but at opposite ends:
