LIFE magazine photographers in 1960 – 37 active and one retired.<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Nearly 60 years ago, LIFE gathered all its photographers, including one retired photographer in NYC for this group shot. It is the topic of the January 18, 1960<\/a> Speaking of Pictures<\/em> column (pp 8, 9).<\/p>\n

Of the group, only two are women – Bourke-White<\/a> and Leen<\/a>. Bourke-White<\/a> photographed the very first cover of LIFE, Leen<\/a> was the subject of a recent Ryerson thesis winner, Erin Levitsky, \u00a0whose thesis on Leen was featured in our journal (The big 45-2 issue – editor Lansdale’s 100th opus). I also see Alfred Eisenstaedt<\/a> was in the group – famous for his 1930s photos of members of the nascent Nazi organization.<\/p>\n

An equivalent group shot of famous Canadian photographers would be welcome as well as a magazine as famous as LIFE, but the heady days of photo essay magazines are long over.\u00a0My thanks to good friend George Dunbar for sharing this memorable group photo with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
