I am sorry to announce the recent passing of two APAG members. Charlotte Brooks passed away on March 15, 2014 at the age of 95. Brooks was a long time staff member for LOOK magazine from 1951 – 1971 along with friend Arthur Rothstein, and worked on the Standard Oil project with Roy Stryker. She also assisted photographers Barbara Morgan and Gjon Mili. Please go to www.agag.us/members for more info. Condolences to her family and to Anne Page who handled Brook’s archive in the later years.
Syeus Mottel also passed away on January 25, 2014 at the age of 83. He was a theater director and producer as well as a photographer. His photos were published in many magazines, but his historical collection of images from the Actors Studio were unique, and Bruce Davidson of Magnum was his mentor. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?n=Syeus-Mottel&pid=169734670 We send condolences to his son Matthew and the rest of his family.
