内容説明
Written and compiled by a UPI photographer and editor, Picture This! tells the story behind the story--how some of the most iconic and telling news pictures of the late 20th C. came about-while also chronicling the major events of the period, from the Civil Rights movement and Vietnam to great moments in sports, entertainment and politics. The book is an insider's look at the development of the wire services, the competition between the small and scrappy UPI and its far larger competitor, Associated Press. Haynes has delved deep into the files, unearthing pictures that changed the world and many that resonate more today than when they were taken. He has contacted former UPI photographers, who contribute their "photo tales" describing the derring-do behind the fierce competition between UPI and AP. He has also tried to identify and credit pictures that originally ran with a simple UPI tagline. Picture This! puts a human face on the extraordinary underdog news service and its photographers who, working against the AP and the clock, took remarkable photos that helped shape a generation's view of American life.
