The Digital Journalist has a number of remembrances of a great photojournalist — Carl Mydans.

Remembering Carl Mydans
What made his work so special was that Carl was first and always a journalist...

Carl Mydans, 1907-2004
In the early 1700s, Jonathan Swift wished one: "May you LIVE all the days of your life." For 97 years, Carl Mydans did exactly that.

Carl Mydans: A Personal Story
When I first came to New York in 1979 as an aspiring photojournalist and assistant to then-Time photographer Neil Liefer, I met Carl Mydans while hanging around the 28th-floor photo stockroom, which was right next to the famed offices of the Time/Life photographers.

Nuts and Bolts
On Monday, August 16th, Carl Mydans spent the day with his best friend, Bill Foley... That evening, with his son and daughter, of whom he was so proud, at his bedside, Carl died. He was 97.
