Metropolis was saddened to learn this afternoon that the legendary architectural photographer Julius Shulman passed away last night, just a few months shy of his 99th birthday. We’ll be posting more about Shulman’s astonishing career in the coming days. In the meantime, we thought readers would like to revisit Paul Makovsky’s 2007 story, “The Photographic Memory of Julius Shulman,” in which the photographer discusses the genesis of some of his most remarkable images. You can also view the photos and read Shulman’s commentary in a slide-show format by clicking the image above.

I am so sad to learn of Julius Shulman’s passing. Only yesterday I was poring over his book written with Richard Neutra on photographing architecture, a wonderfully inspiring tome. It was my dream to meet this great creator some day; but at least we have his wonderful books to learn from. A truly inspiring man.

If there’s one thing to take from Mr. Shulman long life is “to do what you love with passion”. He was a gift to us for 98 years!
RIP Julius Shulman.
