the Republican and Democratic National Conventions for NBC News in 1968.
He was just back from Vietnam, and what might have been a hiatus from combat turned violent in Chicago, where National Guardsmen with rifles and police officers with nightsticks and tear gas clashed with antiwar demonstrators outside the convention hall where Democrats were meeting.
His photographs showed helmeted troops on Michigan Avenue, protesters with gashed and bleeding heads, and a sobbing girl who pleaded with him, “Please, tell it like it was.”
(...)
He went to war with only essential equipment: helmet, poncho, spoon, toothbrush, compass, soap and backpack containing two canteens, an exposure meter, film and two cameras.
He used a Rolleiflex in World War II, but preferred a 35-millimeter.
He took two Leica IIIc cameras into Korea, and said they stood up well in the rain and mud.
He often used 50-millimeter f/2 and 135-millimeter f/3.5 Nikkor lenses.

Malcolm Wilde Browne USA 1931-2012
Malcolm Brown was a first-rate reporter who spent decades at The New York Times, covered wars around the world and won the Pulitzer Prize for his writing about the early days of the Vietnam war.
And yet he will forever be remembered for one famous picture, the 1963 photo of a Buddhist monk who calmly set himself on fire on the streets of Saigon to protest against the South Vietnamese government, which was being supported by the U.S.
In a war that would produce many shocks to the American public, Browne's photo was one of the first and remains an iconic image of the war a half-century later.
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/08/28/
Mr. Browne’s graphic 1963 photographic series of the fiery suicide of the monk, Thich Quang Duc, exposed the deep hostility to the Saigon regime months before the ineffectual South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem was shot, three weeks before Kennedy’s assassination.

George Silk NZ, Australia 1916-2004
During The Famine Young Child Dying in the Gutter, China (1946)
Photograph: George Silk
Entitled: During the famine, young child dying in the gutter, China [1946] G Silk [RESTORED]
I cleaned a few spots, adjusted contrast and darkened tonality for stronger visual impact, and added a sepia tone.
George Silk was a LIFE Magazine staffer, working for them 30 years.
He extensively covered many aspects of the second world war, at one point being even captured by the Germans, and then fortunately escaping.
He was also the first photographer to document Nagasaki after the atomic bombing. Immediately after the war, he was in China recording the poor social conditions and the lack of resources and its devastating effects on the Chinese populace.
Whether one reads Anderson's Little Match Girl or sees Takahata's anime adaptation of Nosaka's Grave of the Fireflies one cannot help but be thunderstruck with compassion over the plight of impoverished children, and of China it was no different.
In the desperate and unforgiving times of the post war period, China was devastated and its streets overflowed with those least able to fend for themselves.
Too young to steal food with sustainable reliability and too old and too many to elicit the short supply of compassion of a war numbed society, child orphans were left to scrape a daily existence from whatever they begged or fought for.
More often than not, they lost that fight.

He spent his early childhood in an Arab world, before his family moved to France in 1925, first to Paris and then to Nice.
He was hired by Life in 1936 and his first assignment was to cover Edward VIII's opening of Parliament.
His pictures were included in the magazine's first issue (on November 23, 1936) and he went on to cover many events of the Second World War.
He photographed Yugoslav guerrilla leader Draža Mihailović in June 1946 during his trial in Belgrade.
He shot the last images of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in 1944.
Saint Exupery, days before he disappeared, gave Phillips a manuscript, "Letter to an American " which Phillips eventually donated to France.
He documented the expulsion of Jews and the destruction and sacking of the Jewish Quarter that took place during the Battle for Jerusalem during the 1947–1949 Palestine war.
Phillips disguised himself as a British member of the Arab Legion to get in, managing to avoid censorship from the Arab authorities.

Paul Schutzer USA 1930-1967
American photojournalist for Life magazine, famous for his "The Blunt Reality of the War in Vietnam" cover photo.
He died on assignment while embedded with Israeli troops on the first day of the Six-Day War.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
On June 5, 1967 in the first hours of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War, LIFE Magazine photographer Paul Schutzer was killed while riding in a half-track personnel carrier heading toward Gaza.
When he’d been hired in 1957, Schutzer was the youngest LIFE staff photographer.
Over the course of a decade, until his death at age 36, he shot 491 stories for the magazine, including the 1960 Presidential campaign.
At the Kennedy inauguration, he captured the iconic photograph of a beaming President with his glamorous wife, a symbol of the Camelot mystique.
During the magazine’s heyday, LIFE’s picture stories brought readers up close to unfolding events.
For a photographer, an assignment was a passport to far-flung worlds and the front lines of history.
Behind the scenes, Schutzer recorded the lives of leaders such as Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon and Kennedy, as well as Martin Luther King Jr.
Describing her father’s work, Schutzer’s daughter Dena explains, “He focused on the people in power and the powerless, the people who were responsible for the events and those who were affected by them.”
From tensions at the Berlin Wall, to life in the war-torn villages of Vietnam, to the fight for desegregation by men and women demanding basic civil rights, the stories Schutzer covered required him to take numerous risks.
Before boarding a bus heading to the Jim Crow south, he once wrote to his wife Bernice,
“I’m going on the bus with the Freedom Riders.
The magazine at first ordered me not to go, but the very reasons for not going, is the reason I must… This story should be told.”
He was working at a time of American greatness,
Bernice now recounts. “He wasn’t jaded or cynical.”
He wanted to connect and did so by getting close.
He carefully edited his own work after each assignment, telling his wife that he would have been lucky to have taken even ten great photographs in a lifetime.
Schutzer traveled extensively through Eastern Europe, where he was deeply affected by what he saw at the site of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
His family tells LIFE that, particularly as a Jewish person living and working in the post-war years, he was inspired by the spirit and promise of the new state of Israel.
So it was no surprise that, with war looming there in 1967, he was eager to be there.
Determined, he prevailed on his friend Moshe Dayan, then Israel’s Minister of Defense, to embed with an assault unit.
He didn’t intend to stay long, saying to his wife that he was finished with war.
He was shot soon after.
“One perhaps can console oneself that Paul died where he wanted to die and gave his life for what he felt most. And that is true,”
LIFE eulogized the next week.
“But we have lost an exceptional, first-rate man in Yiddish this type is called a mensch. Paul was a mensch.”
After his death, LIFE received many condolences and tributes, including from the master photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, who said he admired Schutzer’s work and attitude toward photography.
In a telegram, Robert Kennedy wrote, “Paul Schutzer was highly regarded as a professional and a friend of President John Kennedy and all those associated with him.
His ability, intelligence, sense of humor, and devotion to his craft will be missed by his colleagues and friends.”

John G. Morris, Renowned Photo Editor in the Thick of History, Dies at 100 NYT July 28, 2017
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/28/
On 3 December 1938 Picture Post introduced 'The Greatest War Photographer in the World: Robert Capa' with a spread of 26 photographs taken during the Spanish Civil War.
But the 'greatest war photographer' hated war.
Born Andre Friedmann to Jewish parents in Budapest in 1913, he studied political science at the DeutscheHochschule für Politik in Berlin.
Driven out of the country by the threat of a Nazi regime, he settled in Paris in 1933.
He was represented by Alliance Photo and met the journalist and photographer Gerda Taro.
Together, they invented the 'famous' American photographer Robert Capa and began to sell his prints under that name.
He met Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway, and formed friendships with fellow photographers
David 'Chim' Seymour and Henri
Cartier-Bresson.
From 1936 onwards, Capa's coverage of the Spanish Civil War appeared regularly.
His picture of a Loyalist soldier who had just been fatally wounded earned him his international reputation and became a powerful symbol of war.
After his companion, Gerda Taro, was killed in Spain, Capa travelled to China in 1938 and emigrated to New York a year later.
As a correspondent in Europe, he photographed the Second World War, covering the landing of American troops on Omaha beach on D-Day, the liberation of Paris and the Battle of the Bulge.
In 1947 Capa founded Magnum Photos with Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour, George Rodger and William Vandivert.
On 25 May 1954 he was photographing for Life in Thai-Binh, Indochina, when he stepped on a landmine and was killed.
The French army awarded him the Croix de Guerre with Palm post-humously.
The Robert Capa Gold Medal Award was established in 1955 to reward exceptional professional merit. http://www.magnumphotos.com/C.aspx?VP=XSpecific_MAG.Biography_VPage&AID=2K7O3R14TSPQ
