International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum. The other
honorees include Bruce Davidson (social/civil rights photogra-
pher), Elliott Erwitt (advertising/documentary photographer),
Ralph Gibson (art photographer), Mary Ellen Mark (documen-
tary/portrait photographer), Steve McCurry (photojournalism/
culture photographer), Olivia Parker (still-life photographer),
and Tony Vaccaro (photojournalism/World War II photographer).
The Hall of Fame selects inductees based on their contributions
to the art or science of photography and their impact on the in-
dustry and history of photography. This year’s inductees will be
honored Nov. 1 at a ceremony in St. Louis, Missouri.
