A Legend...


Jack Corn, a legend photojournalist, died this week at the age of 96. As an award-winning photographer for The Tennessean, he touched countless lives. Following that long career, he taught photojournalism at Western Kentucky University, then went on to serve at the Director of Photography at the Chicago Tribune.

His retirement years were spent on his farm which was a wildflower mecca. I took this photo of him on one of his daily walks through the vast carpet of Blue-Eyed Marys and other wildflowers.

To me, the ultimate eulogy applies to Jack: "To know someone has reached the pinnacle of his chosen career, then still be able to say, 'he was an even greater person'."
