A sad day.... Joe Rosenthal died Sunday.

Joe Rosenthal (the photographer that shot the raising of the flag in Iwo Jima) died on Sunday.

Here is the article

yes i read this earlier and didnt even think to post it. thanks for that!

Joe Rosenthal died at 94.

Just saw this on the news. This is the guy who took the Iwo Jima flag raising picture.

I think we are less for his passing. One of the top photos of all time.

Thanks Joe

Ole Joe

What a great loss. Not only did I enjoy viewing his work but I it was such a pleasure watching him describe all of the work that went into his photos.
Another great WW2 veteran gone.

I wouldn't necessarily "grieve" the loss. Rosenthal was 94 years old; he'd led a full and, one might suspect, rewarding life.

May we all be so fortunate...

He has probably the best monument ever built to a photographer's craft.

The made a memorial based on his most famous photo. Not many photographer's get that.

Actually you don't know how accurate of a statement that really is. That image is the most often reproduced/published image in the world, according to an article I read by AP a couple of years ago. I knew I should have saved that article because it really was interesting.

There is a post of his photography in the "Photo Below Me" thread. somewhere between page 810 and above.
