Dennis Stock
July 24, 1928 – January 11, 2010
Dennis Stock was a celebrated photographer who, over the course of some six decades took some of the most iconic pop culture photographs in history. He is perhaps most famous for his stark 1955 photo of James Dean walking through a rainy Times Square, but he also pointed his camera toward many of the jazz greats of the era. Some of his more familiar images were of Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington. Dennis Stock was 81 when he passed away on January 11, 2010.
