Photographer Pirkle Jones dies at 95

posted on March 24, 2009 at 12:53 PM MT, by Melanie McWhorter

Pirkle Jones was assistant to (and collaborator with) Ansel Adams, who introduced him to those in the upper echelon of photography, including Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange and Minor White. Jones documented Berryessa Valley with Lange and the building of the Paul Masson Mountain Winery with Adams, but he is most known for his images of the Black Panthers. The New York Times obituary on the life of Pirkle Jones includes a slideshow few images from the Black Panthers and other projects.
