It took 26 tries and over five hours to have this image done. Philippe Halsman made this picture in 1948 and the subject was Salvador Dali himself. Of course, all that you see in the image was an real act in front of the camera, no ticks or retouch. No more than three assistants threw the cats, one threw the water from a bucket and Halsman’s wife held the chair.
Ce ciudata imi pare imaginea asta, parca ceva nu se potriveste. Cum de au incaput astia doi intr-o trasura? Cum de nu s-au rupt rotile? Oare este amuzant? Mie imi vine sa rad…

Tocmai ce vazusem “Joe Limonada”, film la care am reusit sa intru cu ajutorul legitimatiei de cineast imprumuata de la tata. Urmatorul pe lista, Superman, anuntat in programul de saptamana urmatoare. Afisul era senzational, am trecut cateva zile la rand prin fata cinematografului Tomis doar ca sa il vad. Parca imi aduc aminte, pe strada dintre biserica si tribunal, mai mergeam un pic si eram acolo. Visam cu ochii deschisi, imaginatia mea de copil o lua razna vazand numai afisul.
If you’ll make a top of the world’s most important war pictures, this Pulizer wining image will be on the first place for sure. For Americans, if they have to describe “patriotism” in a single picture, this will be more than enough.
I’m sure that some of you already know the pictures and the history of this man but I have to publish these images here anyway. It is very strange for me to see the eyes of a man who will know he will die in the next minutes. In this kind of pictures I really identify the true power of photography. This man died more than 60 years ago but this touching face expression it is still printed and somehow alive.
Gheorghe Gheorghiu Dej was the first Communist leader of Romania from 1948 until his death in 1965.
