USA – Le site WIRED propose une série de photos où les photographes posent avec leur clichés mondialement connus. Du World Trade Center à la place Tiananmen, une bel hommage aux hommes qui immortalisent les moments importants de l’histoire. Photos de Tim Mantoani.
Jeff Widener holds his photo of Tank Man in Tienanmen Square from 1989.
Steve McCurry holds his 1984 photo of a young woman from Peshawar, Pakistan. « I looked for this girl for 17 years and finally found her in 2002. Her name is Sharbat Gula. »
Neil Leifer holds his photo, Ali vs. Liston, which he took on May 25, 1965 in Lewiston, Maine
Douglas Kirkland: « This is from my Evening with Marilyn. »
Harry Benson: « Brian Epstein — Beatles’ manager — had just told them they were number one in America, and I was coming with them to New York, 1964. »
Karen Kuehn: « From the 1993 Cats Story shot for National Geographic. The director Thomas Kennedy asked me to shoot an entire story about ‘cats.’ He did not want it to be typical! So problem solving this assignment was good fun. The Russian Blue Cat and Ballerina legs was inspired by George Balanchine — he used the idea of cats landing always on their toes to teach his dancers. »
Written words will never convey the whole scope of the event, nor even summarize the sounds, the smells or even the voices that are frozen in my memory bank from that day. I did the best job I could in photographing 9/11 so that future generations would have an idea of the scope of what happened, to have the evidence of how innocence can so easily be snatched away in a razor’s edged moment of time.
My hope is that in time the wounds and pain will heal and that wisdom and peace will prevail among the darkness of this event, so that humanity can move forward into a time of grace and understanding. »
