Compassionate Photographer:
A Tribute to LARRY BURROWS
Photographers are our eyes on the world. Photojournalists courageously risk their
lives to record the joys and sorrows of humankind. Compassionate Photographer
pays homage to Larry Burrows, the renowned LIFE magazine photographer who lost his
life covering the South Vietnamese invasion of Laos on February 10, 1971.
In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Burrows' tragic death, LIFE presents
a retrospective of more than 20 photographs and 15 covers showcasing the breadth
of his work: People, Humanity
and Vietnam. In Memoriam is LIFE's tribute to the
more than 80 photographers who were lost in Indochina.
