Gordon Parks has died.
He was a phenomenally talented man. A tremendous photographer...

Wow! That is a very good homage. I must admit that I didn't have the faintest idea who Gordon Parks was and how much he contributed in his life span.

I was able to see his exhibit in Dallas recently, with a showing of Shaft!, at the DMA and I knew of him, but until I saw his tome of work, I never fully appreciated the depth and importance of his life. He was an amazing man with a vision that changed America. We need more people like him nowadays. He will be missed.

I read most of this thread thinking I was reading about the death of Gordon Jump. Then I realized he already died.
