On March 15th, 2007 the world lost a great photographer.

Monte Zucker, renowned for his unique portrait style, lost his battle with cancer.

Although his style was what most photojournalists would consider "traditional", he was a master at crafting lighting, shadows, and angles. His work will forever remain timeless to his clients, his students, and his fans.

His willingness to share his knowledge was an inspiration as well. All to often photographers want to hide their knowledge, afraid of losing their edge on their competition. I try to follow his example and share with all I can on the forums I frequent.

Thanks for the inspiration Monte. I wish I had gotten the chance to meet you in person during your time on this earth. I'm glad you're in a better place. I'll meet you in the future.
