RIP Gordon Parks

Gordon Parks: "I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty."

Just read that Gordon Parks passed today at the age of 93. Most probably remember him for "Shaft" and "The Learning Tree" but I remember his photos.

This is my favorite photo of the champ:
