March 28, 2015, award-winning photographer Elwin Musser passed. My photographic mentor (LoveSpell Images Agency) for 4 years. Known for his 1959 Pulitzer Prize-nominated photographs of the Buddy Holly plane crash.
Hired as the first full-time photographer at the Globe in 1946, Musser paired an exceptional eye for composition with technical precision.
Musser started his career with a 4x5 Speed Graphic Camera before switching to 33mm in the later years of his career.
Musser received a nomination for a Pulitzer Prize for his work covering the 1959 plane crash, which killed rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper, and pilot Roger Peterson. The series of images creates a nearly complete photographic record of the aftermath of the crash. Many photos not shown to the FBI were hidden, I seen them twice.
Musser left a legacy of mentoring and teaching.

Such a good friend and client. RIP

Know your photographic rights:
Can minors be photographed in public without permissions?
Yes, it is legal to photograph minors in public spaces where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.
These photographs cannot be used for 'commercial' purposes without parental permissions.
Considerations:
Public Places: Photography is permitted in places like parks, sidewalks, roads and public events. In public, individuals, including minors, do not have a legal right to privacy.
Exceptions: Taking indecent, involve sexual or predatory purpose photos, or if the photographer is trespassing on private property.
Local Ordinances: Some specific, limited areas (like certain parks/events) though these can face constitutional challenges.
Ethical:
Safety: if a stranger is photographing children, it is reasonable to approach them to ask for the purpose. Though rights still belong on the photographer's side.
Respectful: Photographers should act with empathy and, if asked, deliberate the purpose of photographing minors.
Is it legal in public...YES.
