Cornell Capa (originally Cornell Friedmann) was born in Budapest and moved to Paris in 1936 to join his brother. Cornell Capa founded the International Center of Photography in New York after a long and distinguished career as a photojournalist. I like the tones and contrasts of this artists work, they are really eye-catching and powerful images. I have looked at his artist because he has taken images of war and sort of behind the sense of it all, which is similar to what I will be working with.
GERMANY. Near Hahn. The 69th Tactical Missile Squadron. The iron curtain is 6 minutes away by jet speed. The TM-61 is jet-propelled,doing 140 knots in 2 seconds after firing, sub-sonic in flight but dives on its target at supersonic velocity.
GERMANY. Missile Policeman Riddlespreger of the US Army and his sentry dog BONZE, standing guard before a collection of Matador nose cones. Matador missiles have the tactical advantage that dozens can be sent with dummy (unarmed) nose cones, or nuclear armed cones, thus confusing enemy as to the true target. 1958.
GREAT BRITAIN. London. 1952. Alec GUINNESS transforming himself with makeup.
GERMANY. Practice crew of missileman, strip anti icing tarpaulin covering from a Martin Matador missile. By jet plane measurements, the Iron curtain is exactly 6 minutes from this BIRD, which has the advantage of being virtually detection proof from most radar because it flies at a tree top level, below the enemy’s electronic trip wires.
GB. ENGLAND. 1952. The Gloucester Regiment, which fought heroically in Korea, returns to England.
GERMANY. Surrounded by Martin Matador missiles in their hangar, a crew of missilers on “alert duty” take time off from handling explosive war heads. They relax and play a game of basketball. 1958.
GB. ENGLAND. 1951. The Gloucester Regiment, which had fought heroically in Korea, returns to England.
GB. ENGLAND. 1952. The Gloucester Regiment, which fought heroically in Korea, returns to England.
