Charlie was a pioneering photographer, outdoorsman and adventurer who explored unmapped regions, raced cars, piloted airplanes, walked on wings, wrestled professionally, hunted big game and befriended men from Presidents to Indian chiefs who shared his passions.This was a man who had started the Miami Press Photographers Association, been one of the Associated Press' earliest official photographers for the South, done pioneering aerial and publicity work, shot thousands of never before seen images of the Florida Everglades and its Seminole Indian inhabitants, won awards throughout the southeast for his work, had his work held in the prestigious Bettmann Photo Archives, and founded the City of Miami Publicity Bureau...Yet he died in relative obscurity. #photographer #photography #history #work #media #journalism #photographers
