A Soldier Heading Home After The War
Throughout his 40-year career, Ernst Haas straddled the line between a photojournalist and an artist. He integrated beauty into his photos of soldiers leaving the war. In a photo essay called “Homecoming,” he showed the desperation and confusion in Europe in the aftermath of the Holocaust. His successful collection helped him gain more success. He refused them all. “What I want is to be free to carry out my ideas.” I don’t think there are many editors who could give me my own assignments.
After The Engagement Of John F. Kennedy And Jackie Bouvier
After their engagement, Jackie and John went to the Kennedy home in Cape Cod. They were accompanied by a reporter who took engagement photos. There was even a whole Life Magazine issue focused on their engagement. The front-page headline read, “Senator Kennedy Goes a-Courting.” Looking back on those days, Jackie said, “I should have known he was magic all along.” I knew it — but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with my children. Now he is a legend when he would prefer to be a man.
