You can’t just get in the cab and say: “Take me to the revolution.”
The photographer Burt Glinn, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 82, speaking of his decision on the fly to go down to Cuba when he caught word at a dinner party of Castro’s Revolution.
Watching the slideshow that Magnum has compiled of Glinn’s time in Cuba with Castro I was struck, again, by the truth that getting the shot is in large part about showing up.
His larger portfolio is also online at Magnum. Brilliant stuff »
Glinn’s obituary is in today’s New York Times.
