Philip Jones Griffiths, who's book "Vietnam, Inc." is one of the classic works on the war has died of lung cancer on March 19th. Griffiths served as president of Magnum for five years, longer than anyother president. In addition to covering Vietnam, he covered wars in Algeria, Israel, Northern Ireland, Cambodia, Iraq and Bosnia

I am amazed at all the tributes which are coming up on the web to Philip Jones Griffiths.

Magnum encomium by Stuart Franklin

Aperture portfolio

International Herald-Tribune obituary


Agent Orange portfolio
at the Digital Journalist (This a work that can only be compared to Eugene Smith's
Minamata.)
