Harold Feinstein, whose celebrated series of black-and-white photographs of Coney Island in the 1950s established him as one of the most accomplished recorders of the American experience, and who went on to experiment with color and new digital techniques, died on June 20 at his home in Merrimac, Mass. He was 84.

Wow, Alan Moore, a war photograph who made pictures of Bergen-Belsen already died in Septemer, but I declined to post it because he didn't seem important enough.

 

But now, more than 3 months later, a Telegraph obit appears:

A record?

Norwegian photographer Kjell Sandved, 93, renowned for his work capturing the detail in butterfly wings, died last month. I like this effort.

Shaun Bloodworth, National Portrait Gallery-featured photographer most commonly associated with his pictures of the Sheffield music scene, dead. He'd been getting some attention recently due to various fund-raising events as he battled kidney failure in hospice, so bad luck for those of you who pencilled him in for next year.

He was 75.
