The Saigon Execution
On the second day of the Tet Offensive, Edward Thomas Adams and an NBC news crew heard gunfire. They followed the noise to a street corner where South Vietnamese soldiers were leading a handcuffed Viet Cong captive to Lt. Col. Nguyen Ngoc Loan, chief of the South Vietnamese National Police. Assuming the prisoner was about to be interrogated, Adams raised his camera to capture the moment. Instead, he took a picture of Lung shooting the prisoner in the head. (Adams later learned that the prisoner was a Viet Cong officer responsible for slaughtering an entire family.)
Daca tot am adus vorba de Dali…
Se pare ca Halsman si Dali au avut o relatie fotografica de lunga durata. Mai toate fotografiile celebre ale lui Dali sunt realizate de Halsman si nu sunt char putine.

Dali Atomicus
It took 26 tries and over five hours to have this image done. Philippe Halsman made this picture in 1948 and the subject was Salvador Dali himself. Of course, all that you see in the image was an real act in front of the camera, no ticks or retouch. No more than three assistants threw the cats, one threw the water from a bucket and Halsman’s wife held the chair.

Vanturi in caruta regala
Ce ciudata imi pare imaginea asta, parca ceva nu se potriveste. Cum de au incaput astia doi intr-o trasura? Cum de nu s-au rupt rotile? Oare este amuzant? Mie imi vine sa rad…

Cum am ratat Superman
Tocmai ce vazusem “Joe Limonada”, film la care am reusit sa intru cu ajutorul legitimatiei de cineast imprumuata de la tata. Urmatorul pe lista, Superman, anuntat in programul de saptamana urmatoare. Afisul era senzational, am trecut cateva zile la rand prin fata cinematografului Tomis doar ca sa il vad. Parca imi aduc aminte, pe strada dintre biserica si tribunal, mai mergeam un pic si eram acolo. Visam cu ochii deschisi, imaginatia mea de copil o lua razna vazand numai afisul.
