Chang, who was twice nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, died late Sunday in Honolulu, his family said. He had celebrated his 85th birthday on July 13 with family and friends gathering to share memories of his life and acclaimed photography.
Colleagues remember Chang, who was wounded three times in Vietnam, with two Nikon cameras hanging from his neck and a cigar in his mouth.”
