Three important photographers died this week.

• AP Photographer Walt Zeboski Dies at Age 83
• Canadian photographer Arnaud Maggs dead at age 86
• Cornel Lucas, Photographer Whose Portraits Defined Film Stars, Dies at 92

Of the three, I am best acquainted with the work of Walt Zeboski. His haunting photo of Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme comes to mind; as do his many photos of Ronald Regan.

I know Cornel Lucas for his black and white portrait of Joan Callins, which I actually recreated (poorly) for a high school photography class back in the 70s.

I had planned on posting on Walt Zeboski, but then my inbox filled up with obituary notices. All were important to photography. All should be remembered.
