[Leica] Photographer of the Century

[George Berger <gberger@his.com>]

There are many ways to judge the photographers who have been 
mentioned. I'll offer one:

The Photographers of the Century  are those famous - - and unknown - 
- - men and women who took their cameras and themselves directly into 
Harm's Way to photograph the horrible impact of war on our armed 
forces and the civilians who were caught in the ruthless crossfires. 
The images that spread daily across our newspapers and magazines from 
WWII, Korea, the two Israeli conflicts and Vietnam ( especially those 
of the Marine at Da Nang) were caught by photographers who risked 
their lives to record those conflicts. Many were either killed or 
wounded. All had the basic guts and fortitude to capture the essence 
of war. It's one thing to be a superb photographer. It's another to 
willingly risk your life to record history

Just my two cents
