Born in 1926, photographer Sal Veder died on 22 August, eight days short of his 100th birthday, at his home in El Dorado County, California. Even if his name is new to you, you'll probably know his work. In particular Burst of Joy, which came to symbolize the emotions of Americans around the end of the Vietnam War.
On 17 March 1973, working for the Associated Press at Travis Air Force Base, California, Veder photographed Lt Col Robert L Stirm's family sprinting across the tarmac to greet him after more than five years as a POW.
