Flower power photographer Marc Riboud dead
Riboud was among few photographers who managed to enter North Vietnam in the late 1960s.
Paris: One of France’s most famous photojournalists, Marc Riboud, whose 1967 snap of a protester confronting US soldiers with a flower captured the movement against the Vietnam war, has died aged 93.
Riboud, equally famed for a 1953 picture of a workman painting the Eiffel Tower high above the Paris skyline, passed away on Wednesday after a long illness, a family member said.
Riboud was among few photographers who managed to enter North Vietnam in the late 1960s. Riboud said he took pictures “like a musician hums”.
