Ralph Morse’s inventively captured images peppered the glossy pages of Life and Time magazines during a 50-year career as a photojournalist.
Some photographers are known for a single image; Mr. Morse’s classics could fill entire albums.
“If Life could afford only one photographer,” said George P. Hunt, who was the magazine’s managing editor in the 1960s, “it would have to be Ralph Morse.”
Mr. Morse is seen here in 1940, riding a bicycle with a camera around his neck and a basket full of flashbulbs.

Ralph Theodore Morse 1917-2015
for nearly 50 years as a photojournalist, his vivid, inventively captured images of major world events peppered the glossy pages of Life and Time magazines.
He was behind the camera for the D-Day landings, the German surrender the next year, Babe Ruth’s farewell at Yankee Stadium and the groundwork on the earliest American missions into space.
He shadowed the Mercury 7 team so doggedly that John Glenn called him the “eighth astronaut.” http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/24/business/media/ralph-morse-life-photographer-is-dead-at-97.html
