I just heard on BBC that Herb Ritts died in LA. CNN.com has a

relatively detailed piece about him.

I started photography when he was really big in the 80's.

I used to admire his studies of the human form, his deep

understanding of man's beauty.

He has probably been one of the few photographers( after Horst

p. Horst in the early 1900's , and then Minor White ) to show true

appreciation of the male's body , and yes, being homosexual

probably helped him to be more corageous and more liric.

He has shown a corageous sensitivity in a time where

homosexuality was still a stigma , and for this he deserves a

lot of respect.

Another is gone , he probably had accomplished what he had to

do. Good bye Herb Ritts , and thank you.

Bailey: not everybody on every photo.net forums chooses to se the unified

forums or other individual forums, which is too bad for them.

So many forums, so little time...

Everyone of us will one day wake up, and never see tomorrow.

 

Rather than lament the passings, I think we should celebrate the achievements.

You're saying that nobody gets out of this alive? Darn.
