Great Photos
• Editorial Comment: Get the picture? 
“Great photographers have to have three things,” he
continued. “They have to have heart if they’re going to photograph people. They
have to have an eye, obviously, to be able to compose. And they have to have a
brain to think about what they’re shooting. Too many photographers have two of
the three attributes, but not the third.”
—John
G. Morris (1916-2017), famed picture editor, in Andy Grundberg, “John G. Morris, Renowned Photo Editor in the Thick of
History, Dies at 100,” New York Times, July 28, 2017. (Thanks to
