Magnum Photos
The global social impact during the Vietnam War was wide-reaching and served as a major catalyst for the Western counterculture movement of the 1960s. Alongside their coverage of the conflict in North and South Vietnam, Magnum photographers documented protests in response to the war worldwide, from the streets of the United States and England to Japan, China and beyond. In 1965, Marc Riboud photographed demonstrations in Beijing supporting North Vietnam and protesting US military involvement. Two years later, he captured anti-war demonstrations in Washington, DC. @davidhurnphoto documented a riot outside the US embassy in London, which resulted in over 300 arrests and 86 injuries to civilians and police officers. 🔗 Explore a selection of articles about Magnum’s coverage of the war at the link in the @magnumphotos bio.

Ansel Adams Photographer, Artist & Activist
Back in the day, Ansel’s fellow photographer and friend Edward Weston lived a few hours south of San Francisco, in Carmel, and Ansel often drove down the coast to visit him and his wife, Charis. On one visit he recalled, “I told Charis I was looking for a place to make a really good photograph of Edward. She said there was a big eucalyptus tree nearby that he liked.” Earlier that year Edward had photographed the tree’s “exciting roots.” When Ansel eventually moved to Carmel many years later, he built a home not far from it. In ‘Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs,’ he wrote, “At first I was not satisfied with the location and I began to explore nearby. Edward sat down at the base of the tree to await my decision.” After initially gravitating towards the picket fence, Ansel “suddenly saw the inevitable image. . . . The relatively small figure at the base of the huge tree, the convoluted roots, and the beautiful quiet light” of a foggy coastal day. “I pleaded, ‘Edward please just keep sitting there.’ I was very excited and fumbled my meter, dropped my focusing cloth and inadvertently kicked the tripod leg. Edward was amused and relaxed.” Image 1: ‘Edward Weston, Carmel Highlands, California,’ 1945.
