I always wondered how long it took to get that shot. Pythons don't exactly pose on demand.

Why in the world does it matter what his politics were. Do you only care of Republicans die? He was one of the greatest photographers of our time. Grow up.

Man, it's been a bad year for great photographers. Francesco Scavulo, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and now Richard Avedon. And Herb Ritts just last year.

Sad.

From MSNBC: "His skill also earned him another title: He was reputed to be the world’s highest paid photographer."

That may have been true at one time, but I doubt it was true recently. I suspect Anton Corbijn is probably the highest paid photographer today. He reportedly commands $125,000 per shoot. Knowing how his signature look on a CD or magazine cover can really drive sales, I don't doubt it at all.
