Arnold Newman passed away today at aged 88
Not generally a LF photographer, but a wonderful portraitist none the less.
The couple of times I met him he was both gracious and funny

You'd be amazed how small the demand is for pictures of trees... - Fred Astaire to Audrey Hepburn

That's sad news, indeed.
He was THE master of environmental portraiture in my opinion. I was under the impression that he _did_ work primarily with LF...
In any case, you're very fortunate to have met him, Tim.
I picked up a copy of his book "Five Decades" a couple of years ago at a used bookstore, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a signed copy.

Arnold shot quite a bit with 4X5 but he used everything smaller than that also.
