Thanks for the life you lived, Gordon. You are an inspiration to me!
Why only one comment to date on the passing of one our greatest photographers? I recently bought a copy of his book "Half Past Autumn." I highly recommend it to any body who appreciates photography and desires a more complete understanding of Mr. Parks. It is people like him who make this a better world through their art.
Who was this person???
Never heard of him, & I've been a pro for 3 decades, lived in 11 diiferent countries, worked in over 40 countries ....yes f-o-r-t-y).....yet I never had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Parks's life & works.
Any links to his works, or any links to info about him please?
A good place to start understanding the life of Gordon Parks is Wikipedia:

A quick summary with examples and many links.
