The Still Photograph: The Exceptional Power of the Candid Moment. by Bocotton Stormfield
Photograph courtesy The Kennedy Library There was a time in American public life when politicians and their advisers understood the sheer power of naturalness; the spontaneous moment, the unplanned nuance, the unprompted interaction with another human being. They understood that the film camera, in the hands of a master photographer could capture them at their best, doing the job they were elected to do. Take note, kids: Lyndon Baines Johnson and Bill Moyers photographed by Yoichi Okamoto.
