Yousuf Karsh: A Selection of his Work | Portraits →
I’m working on my self-assigned photography homework, reading up on some famous photographers. I had no idea Karsh had made so many iconic photos we know today. Along with each photo is a description of the day he took the photo. Among my favorites is this anecdote from meeting Helen Keller:
Among the earliest articles I attempted to read while learning English was her “How to Appreciate the Beauty of Sunset.” “Now, having met you in person,” I said, “I will no longer think of you in terms of sunset but sunrise.” She quickly replied, “How I wish that mankind would take the sunrise for their slogan and leave the shadows of sunset behind them.”
