There are times when the world of photography just stops. To a standstill. Today is such a time. Legendary man and photographer Philip Jones Griffiths , passed away after 72 years of an amazing life.

There are no words that could truthfully pay enough tribute to such a photography giant . There are, thankfully, a lot of his images.

As Henri Cartier-Bresson to write of Philip: “not since Goya has anyone portrayed war like Philip Jones Griffiths.”

In memory, now and forever, please visit, see, understand, appreciate his images : [1] Portfolio
