Marty Lederhandler RIP

Marty Lederhandler died on Thursday at 92. He worked as an Associated Press photographer for six decades, filing images via carrier pigeons and FTPs.

At work on a bright September morning in 2001, he ascended to the Rainbow Room to make a photograph of the newly changed city, with the Empire State Building framing the two burning towers. He retired soon afterwards, with that’s day’s experience helping to make his decision.
