Julius Shulman, amazing mid-century photographer and example for a working life lived right, died on July 15, 2009. He was 98 and still taking pictures.
Shulman produced images of buildings — by pioneering architects like Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Pierre Koenig — that defined the postwar architecture of Southern California, among other places. The gregarious and seemingly tireless photographer continued to work until shortly before his death.
Makes me wish I would have gotten that book signed when I had the chance. . .

We got one, sucker. We met the man, and it was pretty cool to talk to him about his life. I almost decided at the time, “Nah, we don’t need it signed”, then I changed my mind, thank goodness.
Sadly, water spilled on the wood veneer cover and warped it. It’s still amazing, though.
Best. TF
