During the past few years I seem to have been focusing my efforts on collecting original photographs (Type 1) more than anything else. Although half the images in my modest collection were taken prior to 1949 there are a few photographers post 1960 whose work I really enjoy. Recently there was a poll here regarding pre-war photographers. Although I am not posting such a poll I was curious if there are any post 1960 photographers that any photo collectors look for other than Malcolm Emmons?

Below are a few of my favorites. Original images shot by Walter Loos Jr. (Jim Bunning), John W. McDonough (Rickey Henderson), Ronald C. Modra (Robin Yount) seem very tough to find. Ken Regan’s work (Orlando Cepeda) seems to be more plentiful and readily available. The final image is by Phillipe Halsman (Reggie Jackson). I posted this one to enquire if anyone has seen any other baseball image taken by Halsman who is famous for his portraits of celebrities such as Monroe and Dali. This baseball portrait by him is the only one I have ever come across.

One commonality that these artists share is that much of their work has appeared primarily in magazines. Perhaps this would account for my difficulty finding original examples of their work?
