Hi all,
A brief mid-month update as I don’t post here anymore, and moved my blogging to a new page.

Recent Posts
I have been on a blogging binge and in last week produced three posts:
- https://iconic-photos.com/2023/10/20/mothers-day-off-by-grace-robertson-1954/
- https://iconic-photos.com/2023/10/22/marilyns-last-sitting-1962/

What’s Next
My broad theme for next few months will be the photo-essay — not just single photos but how several photos are stringed together to create an engaging read. With print media dying, photo-essay is dying too, and I want to commemorate the big hits of the years past.
My broad roadmap of what I will try to cover is here. There will be a lot of W. Eugene Smith.
My next two posts will be about Hungarian Uprising of 1956, and how it was covered in France and Italy, in Paris-Match and in Epoca. I have previously talked about how it was covered in LIFE, so it will be good companion pieces.
