I don't expect anyone here to recognize the name, but a great photographer by the name of Yousuf Karsh is no longer with us. Link Removed
:frowning:
He's most famous for his photograph of Winston Churchill, one of the most recognized photos of the last century.
He also took my most favorite photo of Audrey Hepburn.
Anyway, just thought I'd pass this on...

Here's the BBC report:

Though known for his photography of world leaders, the image of his that springs to my mind is the shot of Lee, Lifeson and Peart on the inside cover of the Rush album Grace Under Pressure.
