Hy Peskin/Brian Blaine Reynolds overleden in Israel
Brian Blaine Reynolds, 89, who died Thursday of kidney disease at a hospital in Herzliya, Israel, was a man with two names, two countries and, for all practical purposes, two identities.
Under his original name of Hy Peskin, he was one of the finest sports photographers from the 1940s to the 1960s, capturing the greats of baseball, basketball, boxing and golf in some of the most memorable images in sports history.
As Brian Reynolds, his legal name for the last 40 years of his life, he founded an organization now called the Academy of Achievement.
As a photographer, he created one of the most remarkable images of 20th-century sport: Joe DiMaggio completing his majestic swing in the 1949 All-Star Game.
