The Great LIFE Photographers

This blog is dedicated to the men and women photojournalists who have shaped the world with their photographs for LIFE magazine. I do not own any of these photos and they are credited to the photographers who took them.

Hello, this was posted on your site around may 22. 'Anonymous asked: I have a file of negitives from a photographer nemed Lee Baker Johnson from late 1950s to about 1975. Does anyone know anything about him?'. I have some information on Lee Baker Johnson if you would like to contact me via tumblr.

This is for you, anon!

I have a file of negitives from a photographer nemed Lee Baker Johnson from late 1950s to about 1975. Does anyone know anything about him?

Sorry, Anon. I'm not really finding much about him (or her). I've tried searching the LIFE archives, Wikipedia, and Google. Were they ever a photographer for LIFE?

i am looking to find a photo from LIFE (I believe) of a red headed girl and a crew-cut boy in some church in Wisconsin. Would love some help!

Is this what you were looking for?

I'm afraid I don't have it in color, but perhaps I could scan a better photo of it if it's the right one?

Who are you, and where did you obtain all these scans? These images are copyrighted.
