Herbert Keppler -- Herb or Burt -- was known throughout the world for his extremely popular columns Speaking Frankly and SLR in the American magazine and arguably the world's most read photography journal, Popular Photography. During his 57-year career as a writer, editor and publisher of photographic magazines, which earned him a worldwide reputation as one of the most respected and revered authorities in the photographic field, he also did a lot to popularise Japanaes cameras and Japanese technology.
On 4 January 2008 Herbert Keppler died peacefully in his sleep, after a short illness, at Phelps Memorial Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, New York, with his wife Louise, daughter Kathy and son Thomas at his side.
