A New York Times article on Jerome Liebling:

For much of a half-century of taking quiet, subtly powerful pictures that demand and reward long looking, Jerome Liebling has been known as a photographer’s photographer. The label is both a high compliment and an acknowledgment that Mr. Liebling, now 82, has not enjoyed the acclaim accorded to many of his contemporaries who first took their cameras to the streets of New York after World War II.

An advantage of being “untrained” in photography (my academic background is in a different field) is that I can still “discover” photographers that everyone else probably knows about already. This article (and the accompanying Ken Burns multimedia clip) introduced me to Liebling’s wonderful images. (Thank you to The Online Photographer for the link.)
