[At the year’s end, Orlando Weekly reflects on the too-frequently unsung heroes who we lost over the year in our People Who Died issue. During 2013, this included a number of noted locals, so we’ve expanded our coverage to include online exclusive tributes to these much-missed folks. Keep an eye out for the full issue on stands and online Jan. 1.]

Local photographer Rick Lang, a tireless documenter of the South, passed away July 9. Lang had been a member of the faculty at Winter Park’s Crealdé School of Art since the end of the 1980s and a prolific exhibitor of his own work throughout the Southeastern U.S.
