In Memoriam, 2006

At About: Photography, Peter Marshall lists the photographers that were taken from us in 2006. They are all sorely missed already.

Factors such as war and unrest around the world (especially in Iraq, which has proved to be the deadliest war—ever—for journalists) are given special mention.
