William Claxton, Photographer, Is Dead at 80

"......Herman Leonard, another pre-eminent jazz photographer, said in a telephone interview on Monday: “When we started out, there were hardly any other photographers doing this kind of thing because there was no money in it. We started doing it because of the love of photography and the love of jazz.”



Even though I had taken photography in the college, I still have no cure who Claxton is. Stieglitz and Ansel Adams are two of memorable photographers for me. Then I stared to google his works on the internet.
After quickly reviewing Claxton's photography, I only can find two photos which I like.
