To Absent Friends - Dan Farrell

Dan Farrell died earlier this week at the age of 84.  Farrell was a news photographer for the New York Daily News, and in November, 1963 he took one of the most famous and poignant pictures ever taken:

Do I need to explain this picture?  I don't think so, such is the fame of it.

In researching Dan Farrell on the Internet, you can find a sampling of some of the other news hoots that he took for the Daily News over the course of a remarkable career.

RIP Dan Farrell.
