abrewer Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted August 15, 2009 Sorry to hear It is a very moving interview of the man who took the famous shot of the couple embracing very early on Sunday morning, the last day, of Woodstock--the one that caught a butterfly entering the frame up close from the left and the two lovers mid-distance at right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted August 15, 2009 Share #9 Posted August 15, 2009 Aha, I made this one work, but it's about the couple, not the photographer. Cool photo and nice story. And yes, the photographer was definitely using a Leica! Looking back at Woodstock - MSN Video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_newell Posted August 15, 2009 Share #10 Posted August 15, 2009 I like his statement in passing (quoting very loosely) "I knew, if everything had gone right in the camera, with the exposure, that I would have a very powerful picture." Yeah, there is that. Glad pros feel that way, too!!! Ah yes, the days before chimping.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there is that. Glad pros feel that way, too!!! Ah yes, the days before chimping.... What struck me was this modest man--bent on being first-party witness to this huge, society-shaping event--makes an iconic image with a discrete film camera We should all aspire to same IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesop Posted August 16, 2009 Share #12 Posted August 16, 2009 Aha, I made this one work, but it's about the couple, not the photographer. Cool photo and nice story. And yes, the photographer was definitely using a Leica! Looking back at Woodstock - MSN Video ...and rightly so. Thankfully, the photographer saw and used the equipment as tools of his chosen trade. That is precisely how it was back in the day before all the nonsense started. Great shot and story. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamey Posted August 16, 2009 Share #13 Posted August 16, 2009 Got it, Thanks David. After my Australian National service discharge, back in 1970, I spent 12 months in North America with my Grandmother in Detriot Mich and Aunty in Windsor Canada., I certainly remember that era. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
