ma06_v_bw_o_n (original 1962 USN&WR press photo, O'Halloran 3rd prize)
"Astronaut Glenn's orbital launch preparations at Cape Canaveral, Florida."
Apparently this was U.S. News & World Report photographer Thomas J. O'Halloran's third prize winning photo, in the "PICTORIAL" category. I'm assuming for 1962. Possibly something internal to USN&WR? Maybe even something larger, like an Associated Press competition?! Pretty cool.
MA-6 launch, from a similar perspective:

Washington Post obituary, November 22, 2000. A full life, rest in peace Sir:
“Thomas J. O'Halloran, 78, who worked for U.S. News & World Report for 35 years before retiring in 1986 as chief photographer, died of congestive heart failure Nov. 18 at his home in College Park.
Mr. O'Halloran was a native Washingtonian and a graduate of Gonzaga College High School. During World War II, he served in the Army Air Forces in Europe, where he helped set up photographic equipment in bombers.
He joined Harris & Ewing portrait studio in Washington after the war, then began his career at U.S. News & World Report as a staff photographer in 1951.
He was a member of the White House News Photographers Association and the National Press Photographers Association. He also was a longtime member of St. Mark the Evangelist Church in Hyattsville and was a supporter of the building of its new church, which was dedicated last year.
Survivors include his wife of 57 years, Alice M. O'Halloran of College Park, and four children, Michael P. O'Halloran of Dayton, Sean P. O'Halloran of Baltimore, Brendan J. O'Halloran of Rockville and Mary Alice O'Halloran of Arlington.”
The following is must see. “Right Stuff” epitomized. Look at his face & eyes. Listen to the intonation of his voice. There was a pretty damned good chance he was going to die during reentry, which he was well aware of. Amazing, a GENUINE HERO:
