We remember Academy Award winning cinematographer Nestor Almendros, who died of cancer last week at age 61. His films included "Sophie's Choice," "Kramer vs. Kramer," "The Last Metro," "Days of Heaven," (for which he won the Academy Award), "The Blue Lagoon," the Martin Scorsese portion of "Manhattan Stories," and "Billy Bathgate." Almendros worked in Havana in the early years of the Castro regime before he had a falling out with the authorities.
