Marty Forscher, Tended Cameras and Owners, Dies at 87

Whether one’s camera had plunged into the sea, fallen from a skyscraper, been smashed in a riot or been otherwise sorely treated, Mr. Forscher could almost always find a solution. He knew, for instance, when to give a camera a bath (after an unplanned ocean dip, to flush out the saltwater), when to take it to the gas station (after the curative freshwater bath, to blow out the residue with the compressed-air hose), and when to bake it in the oven (after returning from the gas station, to dry out any lingering moisture).
