On the morning of May 18, 1980, Richard “Dick” Lasher, vending machine “routeman” and freelance photographer, made this epic photo of the eruption of Mount St. Helens. #MountStHelens

Behind scenes—The great @DougMillsNYT getting another epic photo from above, in the Oval Office today…

#Sundance: a stunning moment for journalism history, a Vietnamese freelance photographer claimed authorship of a Pulitzer-winning photograph of a Vietnamese girl running from napalm bombs in 1972. Nic Ut has been the credited AP photographer for50+ years. Doc: “the stringer.”

The Times spoke to team behind "The Stringer" and an attorney for former AP photographer Nick Ut about the film's claims that Ut did not take the photo known as "Napalm Girl" during the Vietnam War. latimes.com/entertainment-…

And for the record, the photo of "the stringer" is a heavy crop of an image taken by Hoang Van Cuong. He deserves credit too...

RIP Bill Luster. I adored Bill, as so many did. We shared a hometown (Glasgow, Kentucky), and Bill was an old family friend who inspired me from a young age. A diminutive man with a giant heart, he’ll be missed. One of my favorite photos Bill made was this one of Muhammad Ali.

RIP Legend
