DALLAS — A memorial is taking place at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary for Dallas photographer Tom Jenkins, who died last week of a heart attack at the relatively-young age of 54.
Jenkins was the lead photographer for the Dallas Museum of Art for 12 years, as well as a frequent contributor to the Dallas Observer, where he specialized in taking photos for restaurant reviews.
The memorial runs from 1 to 4 p.m.
