Uncategorized: No Entry
No Entry?
Why go to the bother of building the steps, putting in the handrails and then not allowing entry? I wonder does anyone pay any heed to it!
McAWilliams: Peter Donegan
Even though I have many photos of Peter since I did that photoshoot with him, this shot from the Irelands Eye day out I think is my best shot to date of the guy. Again fair play to him for organising a great day out and for the chance to take so many photos that I cant stop looking at.
Also I must congratulate him on the birth of his first child, his beautiful daughter Ella, Congratz mate.
Will Knott: Einstein’s Funeral
The story behind the photographs are amazing but Ralph Morse’s photographs of Einstein’s funeral are published for the first time on Life.com. There are a couple of interesting things there.
“I stopped and bought a case of scotch.” said Ralph Morse, “I knew people might be reluctant to talk to me, and I knew that most people were happy to accept a bottle of scotch instead of money if you offered it in exchange for their help.” Remember folks, you can get further with a kind word and a drink than a kind word and cash.
Ed Thompson,LIFE’s managing editor at the time decided not to run the story, so the pictures have been filed away until a few days ago.
