Douglas Kirkland follows William Klein to the grave...

Douglas Kirkland is dead, one of the last giants of American photography. Born in 1934 in Toronto, Douglas was raised in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada and in 1960 at the young age of 26, became a staff photographer at Look Magazine and later, Life Magazine. His photographs have appeared in thousands of publications throughout the world. Those who made me dream * when I was young and not yet a (small) photographer are leaving the world of the living, but their pictures stay in our mind … * Let anyone who never dreamed to photography Marilyn Monroe throw the first stone !

PS: I hope they’ll find Tri-X and Kodachrome films in the photo shop of the photographer’s paradise !
