Sid Kaplan, a master black-and-white printer and photographer, is the darkroom equivalent of the session man — the go-to guy famous musicians revere and want to work with, but known to few people outside the industry. He made most of Robert Frank’s prints for more than three decades, as well as many of Louis Stettner’s and Cornell Capa’s. Yet, people don’t stand in front of those prints in galleries and say, “I bet that’s a Sid Kaplan.” via
