From a New York Times obit by Richard Sandomir headlined “Neal Boenzi. Top New York Times Photographer for Four Decades, Dies at 97”:

Neal Boenzi, a photographer who for more than 40 years at The New York Times deftly captured aspects of city life from firefighters fleeing a falling wall to a man walking a goose, died in Newhall, Calif.

Mr. Boenzi’s photographs usually accompanied breaking news coverage and longer articles. But they also included many so-called day shots: photographs he took when he was told to be creative and find pictures that brightened readers’ days.
