It's the birthday of photojournalist Alfred Eisenstaedt, born in
Dirschau,
Prussia (1898). When Eisenstaedt was 14, his uncle gave him an Eastman
Kodak Number Three Folding Camera, and he began taking pictures. He
photographed many famous artists and statesman and, in 1933, was sent
to shoot
OT? At least it is about photography - hopefully that is what Pentax itself
is about. Have you had the pleasure of reading The Eye of Eisenstaedt? It has
some fascinatiing information about how/why he made some of his favorite
images.

Ed M.
