Passing of Milton Rogovin



Photography lost another great this week. Milton Rovogin. He started in photography late at age 48 but lived to 101 creating a large important body of work. Mr Rovogin was a social documentary photographer in the best sense, a man who placed others before himself.

From the youtube link:

"He was a wonderful, kind, compassionate man who lived a life true to the cause of civic decency, equality, and social justice." - The Online Photographer
