According to digitaljournalist.org:
"...when it came to choosing the one photojournalist who had the most profound impact, and who leaves the greatest legacy, there was no question whom that person is - Alfred Eisenstaedt.
Eisie took note early on as a news photographer in Berlin, in the late 1920s of a new small camera invented by Dr. Erich Salomon: the Ermanox. By reducing the image size to that of a postage stamp, it was possible to devise lenses for it fast enough to take pictures with ordinary room light, no flash. Eisie instinctively understood that with this tool it would be possible to work unobtrusively, recording people as they really are. He took advantage of every talent and attribute he had.
One, an accident of God, was his small stature. Eisie could easily slip unnoticed into a room. He was a chameleon, and his charm made him welcome with every subject he approached. Most important, as Carl Mydans writes in this month's issue, he had the curiosity of a child. He never stopped being amazed and delighted by watching and photographing the people around him. This youthfulness of mind and spirit endured throughout his life. A year before he died, in 1995, he told me "I have the body of a 90-year-old, but the mind of a 20-year-old."
He never tired of taking pictures. During his annual vacations at his home on Martha's Vineyard, he would set about documenting the island he loved so much. The amount of work he produced throughout his lifetime is prodigious. From LIFE cover stories to scores of exhibitions and many books, his photography is constantly being rediscovered. Henry Luce, as he was creating LIFE Magazine, understood that Eisie was the prototype for this new breed of visual storyteller. Eisie in turn, created the form and shape of the photo-essay that provided the foundation on which other photographers would build.
We miss him very much, but take comfort in knowing that he is still with us through his brilliant images the gift he left to the world."
Alfred Eisenstaedt is buried in Mt. Hebron Cemetery, Queens, New York.

I was asked a lot by those fortunate enough to view my 'Everyone Could Use A HERO' fine-art Exhibit: "What does El Che' have to do with any of the other Heroes in the exhibit?' Well it's quite simple, really. Not only is El Che' a HOOD and Pop Art Culture icon, (his T-shirts and memorabilia alone top the records for top-selling items) but I thought how ironic for the right-hand man of Fidel Castro himself to be gone from us after nearly 50 years (his anniversary is this Oct) and still speak to the people plus, have this type of relevancy is beyond human belief. Besides, this is the man who actually sat down and chatted with Malcolm X and played a guitar with John Lennon before their deaths. After studying those facts, plus what the man did for Africa; I had to immortalize his heroic soul. As an Historical Artist, I never capture a soul unworthy of my canvas. Yop, El Che' certainly deserved to be immortalized just as much as any of the other 'HEROES' souls that I captured. (You know those old movies where about ten gunmen would line-up in front of some prisoners for an execution before they yelled 'ready, aim, fire)? Yop. That was El Che' who came up with that idea. Please check the movie 'The Motorcycle Diaries' about Che's early life (before) all the carnage he inflicted. (peace)... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE, inc.
