    Herb Ritts Died

    Though he did not shoot porn, Ritts did shoot tons of great photos and some pretty memoral "semi-erotic" images. I loved his work. He died this morning from complications with pneumonia.

          Excellent photographer and real good music video director.

          He is the person behind the Chris Isak's video.

              The first time I remember hearing from him was the 1988 Playboy shoot of Cindy Crawford.

              He died of "complications due to pneumonia." We all know what that means ...

                Music videos, I don't think he ever made any movies.

                  now i do remember his name in connection with Cindy Crawford.

                  doh..........there is a big movie person named Ritt, no 's' on the end, that's who i first though it was.

                    Yes, most good fashion photogs are gay... But who cares about who he did.. is what he did.. that is his legacy..

                        He was a giant. I was planning on putting up a thread, but ya beat me to it. And dead at 50 (I'm 56!) of pneumonia. Now I'm glad my doctor talked me into getting a pneumonia shot.

                          Unless you have AIDS, you chances of dying from complications from pneumonia are pretty slim

                            Herb Ritts was openly gay. Chances are it was AIDS.
                            Sad, he was a really great talent. Been following his stuff since the mid-80's. Got several of his books.
                            Not too many big-name B&W photographers left.

                                    Huh? You have the wrong person. I have no idea who SNOW is and never have done anything with dialers.
