From the Editor
Photojournalism lost one of its central figures today: Jean-François Leroy, founder of Visa pour l'Image, has died after building the festival into the field's biggest annual gathering. Aperture's new issue is guest-edited by Hiroshi Sugimoto, built around the theme of stopping time, and Sigma has dated three more Aizu Prime cine lenses for November alongside a run of other lens news.
