Neil Davis is considered by many as the best war news-cameraman with his legendary bravado and swashbuckling manner
finally meeting his end in a military coup in Bangkok in 1985. His camera actually recording his death.
Well remembered for his coverage of the Vietnam war he recorded the final hours of the fall of Saigon including the Viet Cong 's
tanks running down the presidential palace gates and the helicopter scramble from the US embassy.
Paywalled now but the image might display for you. Lee Miller's son is maintaining her legacy at Farley House and cataloguing her photo and negative archives.
btw this is a poor crop of the photo. I really should find a link to the full image.
Most of them are super interesting because of the subject but there are a couple that do belong in a gallery. IMO. The Timothy Leary one appeals to me partly because it's not very good at all.
I've watched parts of it, but not all the way through. It bothered me that some parts seemed anachronistic but it was fun to watch. I was still in high school when I started going there; I didn't realize until years later how dangerous NYC was in the late 1970s, especially riding subways all over the place late at night. It was all we knew though - by the '80s, it got safer.
Sometimes being oblivious to danger is the best defense.

Some of the acting (Rickman) was fine. The script/direction was appalling.
Did you ever see the CBGBs movie that came out a couple of years ago? Not very good, but I couldn't stop watching. But then I had to remind myself it wasn't a documentary, so any of the interesting parts might have been fiction.
