R.I.P. Julius Shulman

See the L.A. Times Article HERE.

Shulman was one of the greatest and most loved modern architecture photographers of all time. My friend Rhoi, seen in the picture below with Shulman said that, "I was going to call him. He was that kind of guy, you could just call with some questions and he was always willing to chat." From what I hear, Mr. Shulman was a very kind hearted and passionate man. In my opinion we can never have enough of that in this world. I am sad that I was never able to cross paths with this talented individual who captured so many memories in the eyes and hearts of so many. We've lost yet another legend this month that changed the world with thier presence.
