HORST FAAS - Jamiya Wilson: “Prized for his photojournalism work of the Vietnam War, Horst Faas (1933-2012) created new standards for covering war with a camera. Born in Berlin, Germany in 1933, Faas began his career with the Keystone Agency in 1951. By the young age of 21, he was already covering major events such as the peace negotiations in Geneva in 1954. In 1956, Faas joined the Associated Press, where his reputation as a daring, unflinching war photographer took hold. He was soon assigned to cover war in the Congo and fighting in Algeria.

Martine Franck deserved to be remembered as more than her famous husband’s wife.
When a much-admired but slightly out of the spotlight figure passes away, you often hear them described as a “writer’s writer” or a “photographer’s photographer.” And when one is married to one of the most famous photographers in history (Henri Cartier-Bresson), she risks being pigeonholed as her “husband’s wife.” Belgian photographer Martine Franck, who died last week at 74, was an unusual artist, deserving of recognition for her own unique visual and personal strengths.
