We are teaching graduate students how to document their engineering work in developing countries, and this article was an invaluable resource to show students examples of what makes a photo powerful: skill, perseverance, and some luck!

Others of the "lone keeper": I have a copy of pioneering photojournalist Alfred Eisenstaedt's book THE EYE OF EISENSTAEDT. On page 67 is reproduced the contact sheet of Eisie covering a UK Tory political rally in 1951. Winston Churchill is seated on stage with other notables, dozing off over boring speeches. Eisie is burning-up 135 frames. Then the band strikes up GOD SAVE THE KING, Winnie awakens and smiles and flashes his V FOR VICTORY gesture, Eisie snaps, and we have THE iconic image of Mr Churchill. A few other examples in the Eisenstaedt book show pictures that we (should) know, and the surrounding shots that didn't make the cut. The lesson: Even a legendary shooter blows most of their shots. It doesn't matter. Film was the cheapest part of professional 35mm photography. With digital, photons are immensely cheaper. Waste a zillion shutter snaps, as long as THE important image is captured. Isn't this like kissing lotsa frogs in order to find a prince? Great examples!
