Something else good to come out of Kentucky, eh Buck? R.I.P Martha……..

(AP) Martha Holmes, a former Life magazine photographer known for her signature pictures of famous people including painter Jackson Pollock and film stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, has died. She was 83.
Holmes died at home in Manhattan on Sept. 19, said Bobbi Baker Burrows, a Life picture editor who worked with Holmes. She said family members reported the death was from natural causes.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Holmes was hired by Life in 1944 from the Louisville Courier-Journal, after another Life photographer on assignment there noticed her work. She was the third female addition to the elite magazine staff, and worked mainly out of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and later New York.
