Peter Lindbergh is one of my very favorite photographers. He passed away recently. His death moved me to buy all of his available books. His black and white work, while very different from mine, is "emotionally" the standard to which I constantly aspire but will probably never reach.
There is an online photo magazine called, Blind that just posted a nice article about him
and his place in the fashion world.
It's well worth reading:
