Hi Everyone:
Many on PDML have probably read this book, but for those who haven't, I
heartily recommend a read. I liked it so much that tonight I'm going to
start reading it again because I'm unwilling to say good by to the
larger-than-life photographers or end the adventure.
Before reading the book I knew little about Magnum. Of course, I had heard
of Magnum, but not much else---I knew little of the in-house tensions,
disagreements, both the positive and negative working dynamics,
personalities, original mission, philosophical differences, financial
struggles et al. The first part of the book does a wonderful job of
rendering Robert Capa, whom I didn't know much about--wow! what a guy!
What a fascinating human being. In the beginning he truly was the heart and
soul of Magnum.
Anyway, I highly recommend a read. *Magnum: 50 Years at the Front Line of
History* written by Russell Miller
Cheers, Christine from Chicago
