    Funny, when I first read the title I thought it was about Karsh's hair!
    Thanks,

    Not only was Karsh special, his work was the result of a close collaboration between him, his assistants and his printer. The magic of that team will be hard to duplicate.

    Interesting that you restrict it to the United States..... Karsh's main studio was in Canada.

    Excellent point! By the same token, I am surprised that Tony Hauser was not mentioned yet.

    Beat me to it.... Tony Hauser is not only an excellent portraitist but a gentleman and a humanitarian deeply involved in our world. If you are ever in Toronto, Ontario be sure to stop into his gallery. A great Canadian and photographer!
