Legendary University of Missouri photojournalism professor Angus McDougall died Thursday, Aug. 20, 2009, in Columbia, Mo., he was 92.
I never had McDougall for a class or even met him for that matter, but I knew who he was. He changed photojournalism for the better and every working photojournalist today owes him a debt of gratitude. I thought it was important we at least noted his passing on this blog.
Here are few links to stories that summarize his life far better than I could.
