Julius Shulman remembered

Last week photography master Julius Shulman passed away at the age of 93. I met the man once a few years ago at an event hosted by the Glendale Historical Society and he was as sharp as a tack.  I introduced myself as a photographer and we chit chatted about photography and his work for a few minutes until we was called to the podium to speak about the need to preserve buildings and landmarks in Glendale and LA as a whole. I was amazed at the energy he still had for photography and life at his age and how he did not seem to stop for anything. Over the past week I’ve heard some touching things said about Mr. Shulman and  how his work which effected so many people in California and around the world. I feel lucky to have met him even for the short period time we actually chatted. He will be missed I’m sure but his images will be loved and admired or a long time to come.
