Saul Leiter - Tumblr Posts

Saul Leiter passed away last night. It's kind of crazy to hear that since he's one of my favorites. I'm glad to see a personal article about Saul on the NYT Lens Blog from Tony Cenicola, his former assistant. DVDs for Tomas Leach's documentary about Saul, In No Great Hurry, start shipping worldwide in two days. I guess I'll be buying a copy of that and dedicating my next set of NYC color photos to Mr. Leiter.

"I am not immersed in self-admiration. When I am listening to Vivaldi or Japanese music or making spaghetti at 3 in the morning and realize that I don’t have the proper sauce for it, fame is of no use."
