\"Churchill<\/a>

Churchill by Karsh – Life Magazine cover May 1945.<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. George Dunbar often discovers interesting web sites. When they pertain to photography, I receive an email which was the case two days ago. George came across the site “Slightly Out of Focus<\/a>“. \u00a0This site is a book store specializing in old magazines rich in photographic subjects- not technology, but the resulting photos and essays.<\/p>\n

Browsing the site brought back memories of lazy afternoons at the barber shop as a kid. Nels MaGee had many, many magazines including Life and Saturday Evening Post. Life featured a large photo on the cover as well as photo essays by well known photographers.<\/p>\n

Four decades later, in the 1980s, I borrowed books from Richview Library (the pre Harris era when Etobicoke was a separate borough). I learned about the Farm Security Administration in the dirty 30s and Dorothea Lange<\/a>. Margaret Bourke-White<\/a> (who shot the first Life magazine cover), Lew Hines<\/a>, and others.<\/p>\n

George singled out the May 21, 1945 Life<\/a> issue featuring the famous portrait of Churchill by Karsh<\/a> of Ottawa. Have a look and see the many famous photographers, subjects and magazines of the not so distant past before we had the web and TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
