I thought this was an interesting essay on a famous photo from 1976. The fact that the photo is misleading (as the essay describes) shows how an image has its own truth and can add to its power.
A Flag, a Busing Fight, and a Famous Photograph Louis Masur talks about the legacy of The Soiling of Old Glory, a picture that shocked the nation. "On April 5, 1976, the year of the American bicentennial, Stanley Forman, a photographer with the now defunct Boston Herald American, took 1/250th of a second out of his day to take a picture that remains a defining illustration of race in America." http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/national/2008/04/04/a-flag-a-busing-fight-and-a-famous-photograph.html http://tinyurl.com/6zat7q -- <----------------------------------------------------> Perry Pellechia Primary email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Alternate email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page: http://homer.chem.sc.edu/perry <----------------------------------------------------> -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
