Remembering Herb Snitzer, photographic pioneer

Family and friends remembered Herb Snitzer as a caring, compassionate man with a strong sense of conviction, an equally strong sense of humor and blessed with a photographer’s keen eye.

The 90-year-old St. Petersburg resident, known around the world for his iconic black-and-white photographs of jazz musicians, New York street life and the myriad faces of social injustice, died Dec. 31 of complications from Parkinson’s Disease.

She held the first in an ongoing series of virtual meetings Thursday night for those affected by displacement.
