One of the great cinematographers in the history of the medium of film is dead at the age of 85. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the last thing to do is fill up this space with a flurry of vowels and consonants. The only proper way to honor Vilmos Zsigmond is through the glory of his own imagery. Here is only a fraction, in no particular order:
