Herbert Keppler, Photo Industry Pioneer, Dies at Age 82 - Photography Industry News
Sad news.
"Woodbury, NY, January 5, 2008— It is with a great sense of loss that Photo Industry Reporter announces that Herbert Keppler, a photo-imaging publishing pioneer, editor, and mentor, died peacefully last night following a brief illness in a Westchester, New York, hospital. His family—wife, Louise; daughter, Kathy; and son, Tom—were at his side. “Burt,” as friends knew him, was one of the most revered, respected and beloved members of the photographic community. One of the original columnists for Photo Industry Reporter when it was founded 16 years ago, his column, The Way It Is, was one of the publication’s most-read features. Burt was a positive force who helped advance the industry he loved, a thought-provoking guru for millions of amateur photographers, and a practical camera design and marketing genius whose advice was sought after and implemented by manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Over the span of his 57-year career, Herbert Keppler was probably best known to photo enthusiasts for his 37 years at Modern Photography magazine, rising through the ranks to the positions of editorial director and publisher, as well as his 20-year tenure with Popular Photography, where he was vice president and publishing director, and where he amassed fans worldwide, both among readers and industry colleagues."
