<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LIFE magazine always managed to onboard the best photographers. Starting from the first issue that hit the shelves on November 23, 1936, the continuously surprised the public with their sharp and unforgettable photographs. No surprise, the LIFE magazine was the top illustrated US publication for decades.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LIFE magazine was published weekly from 1936 to 1972. Nonetheless, competitors (TV, mostly) took their readers’ share and forced the glorious publication to switch to a monthly basis. The magazine stood tall from 1978 to 2000. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But we still remember the LIFE magazine! We continue to dig through its archives and find new and new amazing photographs that deserve the fresh publication. This publication covers the LIFE magazine photographs that became an integral part of the photo history. Many of these pictures starred the <a href="https://oldpics.net/100-most-important-pictures-in-history/">100 most important pictures in history</a>.</span></p>

<p>Photo by W. Eugene Smith, 1943.</p>
<p>Another WW2 masterpiece of Eugene Smith. During World War II, hundreds of Japanese were besieged on Saipan&#8217;s island and committed mass suicide to avoid Americans&#8217; surrender. When American Marines examined the island,  they found a barely alive child in one of the caves. Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://oldpics.net/a-story-of-a-soldier-holding-baby-photo-by-eugene-smith/">story behind this stunning photograph.</a></p>

<p>Photo by Paul Schutzer, 1961.<br />“Riders of Freedom” called the joint bus trips of black and white activists who protested against the violation of black people&#8217;s rights in the southern states of the United States. In 1961, activists rented buses and traveled around the southern states. No surprise, they were repeatedly attacked and arrested by southern whites. During a trip from Montgomery, Alabama, to Jackson, Mississippi, National Guard soldiers were assigned to protect the riders.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6064" src="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lee-Miller-in-the-bathroom-of-Adolf-Hitler.jpg" alt="Lee Miller in the bathroom of Adolf Hitler" width="1536" height="1567" srcset="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lee-Miller-in-the-bathroom-of-Adolf-Hitler.jpg 1536w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lee-Miller-in-the-bathroom-of-Adolf-Hitler-294x300.jpg 294w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lee-Miller-in-the-bathroom-of-Adolf-Hitler-1004x1024.jpg 1004w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lee-Miller-in-the-bathroom-of-Adolf-Hitler-768x784.jpg 768w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lee-Miller-in-the-bathroom-of-Adolf-Hitler-1506x1536.jpg 1506w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lee-Miller-in-the-bathroom-of-Adolf-Hitler-360x367.jpg 360w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lee-Miller-in-the-bathroom-of-Adolf-Hitler-150x153.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px" />Somehow this photo of former-model Lee Miller in Hitler’s bathroom is one of the <a href="https://oldpics.net/bizarre-ww2-photos/">best-known WW2 photography</a>. Its story is noteworthy, though. Photographers Lee Miller and David Sherman worked together during WWII. Miller shot for Vogue, Sherman shot for <a href="https://oldpics.net/20-best-life-magazine-covers/">LIFE</a>. They participated in the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp. The very next day, photographers entered Munich together with the 45th American division. Precisely speaking, Lee Miller didn’t shower in the secondary apartment of Adolf Hitler, which he used during his trips to Bavaria.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Lee and I found an elderly gentleman who barely spoke English, gave him a box of cigarettes, and said, &#8216;Show us Munich,&#8217;” Sherman recalled in a 1993 interview. &#8220;He showed us around Hitler&#8217;s house, and I photographed Lee washing in Hitler&#8217;s bathroom.&#8221;</span></p>
<h3>Lee Miller moved from the apartment of Hitler to the mansion of Eva Braun</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Miller and Sherman lived in the apartment of <a href="https://oldpics.net/adolf-hitler-trains-body-language-unique-historical-photos/">Adolf Hitler</a> for several days. After that, they even squatted in the house of Eva Braun, which was located nearby. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The photo of Lee Miller taking a bath in the Fuhrer&#8217;s apartment caused a flurry of indignation. Many considered the photographers&#8217; behavior unethical. Lee Miller&#8217;s son, Anthony Penrose, commenting on the image, said: “Her boots covered in Dachau mud are on the floor are. She says she is a winner. But what she didn’t know was that a few hours later in Berlin, <a href="https://oldpics.net/adolf-hitler-assassination-attempts-in-pictures/">Hitler</a> and Eva Braun would kill themselves in a bunker. ”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many people noticed that <a href="https://oldpics.net/adolf-hitler-during-ww1-historical-facts-and-pictures/">Hitler</a> decorated the bathroom with his own portrait and a classic statue of a woman. The New York Times described the photograph as &#8220;A woman caught between horror and beauty.&#8221; However, some researchers have interpreted the image more deeply, arguing that there is no single accidental detail in it. The pollution of Hitler&#8217;s bathroom with Dachau dust was a deliberate act. The Sherman bathing photographs in the same bath, taken by Lee Miller, are also symbolic since the photographer was a Jew.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Commenting on the photos, Miller said she was trying to wash off the Dachau scents. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At first glance, Sting does not look like a person about whom you can tell something unusual or show some unseen photos. But not for the Oldpics! Moreover, we decided to mention not only Sting photos but a few fantastic videos. And yes, we know that we’re the ‘Old Pictures,’ </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">not the Old Videos.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sting nickname stuck to the musician due to his younger years’ performances in a bee costume (check one those photos below). Well, not precisely a bee, but still wearing a sweater with black and yellow stripes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By the way, another gifted kid, Neil Tennant, co-founder of the Pet Shop Boys duo, went to the same school with Sting. Neil was only three grades younger.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On October 2, 1951, the singer was born in the north of England in Wallsend’s port city. Like many yet-not-famous-rock-stars, he has tried a million professions: bus conductor, football coach, English teacher. There was a time when he was a tax collector. It was the worst job, according to Sting.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the beginning, Sting shared his popularity with two bandmates from The Police. The band released their first album in 1978, and it also featured the early hit &#8220;Roxanne&#8221; (which was initially born not as a reggae song at all, but as a lullaby for a baby).</span></p>
<div id="attachment_6040" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6040" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-6040" src="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Police.jpg" alt="Police" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Police.jpg 1000w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Police-300x200.jpg 300w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Police-768x512.jpg 768w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Police-360x240.jpg 360w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Police-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p id="caption-attachment-6040" class="wp-caption-text">The Police</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Police have always appeared in public in the form of ash blondes. And this image has a bright background!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1977, the gum manufacturer Wrigley commissioned a commercial and hired a little-known English director, Ridley Scott. The video required an unnamed rock band with dazzling blonde hair. The unknown guys from The Police agreed to participate. The advertisement did not hit the air, but the group decided to use the white-haired image during their performances.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sting had a chance to play chess with Garry Kasparov. He took part in a show match against the grandmaster in 2000 in New York. It was a simultaneous session. It took Kasparov fifty minutes to beat all five.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sting is a remarkable actor. He starred in Dune, The Bride (he played Dr. Frankenstein there), The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and, of course, ‘Lock, Stock, Two Barrels.’</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And his first film work was the role in the semi-cult drama &#8220;Quadrophenia&#8221; in 1979, based on the British band’s album The Who (and not a musical at all).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sting also starred in the 1989 Broadway show ‘The Threepenny Opera.’</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every reference book and Wikipedia will tell you that Sting&#8217;s full name is Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner. However, Sting himself does not associate himself with this name in any way. Back in 1985, a journalist called the musician Gordon in an interview. Sting immediately replied: “My children call me Sting, my mother calls me Sting. Who the fuck is Gordon?&#8221;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_6046" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6046" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-6046" src="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Two-Stings-in-one-shot.-Guess-who-is-a-musician-and-who-is-a-wrestler.jpg" alt="Two Stings in one shot.

Guess who is a musician and who is a wrestler?</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unlike most successful bands that fell apart at their peak due to squabbling and irreconcilable ambition, The Police had a very different case. It&#8217;s just that the time has come.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sting recalled that on August 18, 1983, they performed at the legendary New York stadium Shea (where The Beatles themselves played at the height of Beatlemania). And right during the show, the artist felt that he had conquered Everest. There is no higher mountain to climb. Therefore, The Police were paused, without an official disband.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, other musicians look at the situation a little differently, assuring that, in any case, they are tired of Sting.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_2986" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2986" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2986" src="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Police-1977.jpg" alt="Police-1977" width="600" height="385" srcset="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Police-1977.jpg 600w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Police-1977-300x193.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><p id="caption-attachment-2986" class="wp-caption-text">Early photos of Sting and The Police, 1977</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The award-winning American wrestling star Stephen James Borden also has a nickname Sting. Interestingly, he claimed it earlier than a musician did. Therefore, when Sting had to buy the rights for the pseudonym from the wrestler.</span></p>
<p><div class="embed-container"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Gasparov Playing Chess with Sting and the Police 2001" width="1140" height="855" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nDSQTItI9as?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is Sting who sings, &#8220;I want my MTV&#8221; in Dire Straits&#8217;s &#8220;Money for Nothing.” From now on, you will listen to this song in a completely different way, sorry.</span></p>
<p><div class="embed-container"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Sting&#039;s scenes as Ace Face in Quadrophenia (1979)" width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kwe7vuNZleY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sting doesn&#8217;t want to be featured in a biopic, as is actively encouraged these days. “I am absolutely against it. I don&#8217;t want that. I already describe my life through art. &#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And Sting doesn&#8217;t want his many children to inherit a $ 400 million inheritance. According to the musician, for them, it will become a yoke around their necks. Besides, Sting hopes to spend all this money in full!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everybody remembers Winston Churchill as an <a href="https://oldpics.net/100-most-important-pictures-in-history/">iron prime-minister from the picture of Yusuf Karsh</a>. This photo is undoubtfully the best-known Prime minister’s image. We also remember him <a href="https://oldpics.net/winston-churchill-with-a-tommy-gun-1940/">holding a Tommy gun and inspiring British soldiers</a> to defend their homeland.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But we have some relaxed photos of Winston Churchill too. Oldpics selected several noteworthy images showing an unexpected talent of the legendary politician: the painting. Yes, Sir Winston Churchill was an artist too!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Editors asked their photographers to make a portrait of a retired politician at home. In those pictures, the Winston Churchill looked completely different: a sedate landowner, an enthusiastic artist, an animal lover.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://oldpics.net/young-winston-churchill-photos-and-facts/">Churchill</a> took up a hobby of painting in 1915, at the age of 41. He was a passionate artist until the end of his life. “If I didn&#8217;t paint, I would not be able to live. I could not bear the stress, ”he said. During his life, he created more than 500 paintings.</span></p>

Even today, it is not completely clear what the writer was sick with. We decided to publish some rare pictures of the death ceremony of Ernest Hemingway and some facts about his last days.</span></p>
<h3>The last days of the colorful life</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ernest Hemingway has seen a lot of things in his life. He knew everything literally:<a href="https://oldpics.net/ernest-hemingway-recuperating-after-his-injury-during-ww1/"> WWI injuries</a>, dramas, <a href="https://oldpics.net/hemingway-travel-to-italy-1948-in-pictures/">civil war</a>, travel, world recognition, car races, <a href="https://oldpics.net/ernest-hemingway-and-a-dead-cat/">lion hunts</a>, women, <a href="https://oldpics.net/the-dangerous-summer-of-ernest-hemingway-in-pictures-spain-1958/">bullfights</a>, alcohol. <a href="https://oldpics.net/hemingway-and-alcohol-unknown-facts-and-pictures/">Lots of alcohol</a>. Many people won’t experience even a small part of what Hemingway passed through. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The last years of the writer&#8217;s life were hard for him. It was so hard that his last life, Mary, even said that ‘Ernest Hemingway was waiting for his death.’ The bright mind of this active and lively person was poisoned by depression. He could no longer work as much as he was used to. The love of alcohol was also not in vain &#8211; numerous diseases tormented the writer. Hemingway suffered from paranoia &#8211; he thought that the government was spying him. The electroshock treatment only exacerbated the problem, and he began to lose his memory. It was the most valuable treasure, as Hemingway used to say. Only in the 80s of the last century, the FBI declassified the writer&#8217;s case, which confirmed his agents&#8217; pursuit.</span></p>

<h3>Father’s curse</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A real man cannot die in bed. He must either die in battle or put a bullet in the forehead.&#8221; That’s what Ernest Hemingway used to say about death. Who could know that it will become a prophecy? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was the early morning of July 1961. Hemingway went out onto the veranda of his house, rested his chin on the barrel, and fired a bullet from his favorite gun. Tourists still come to the house where Hemingway died in Ketchum, Idaho.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many biographers make the most mystical assumptions about the reasons for that fateful act. The version that Hemingway died of &#8220;inheritance&#8221; is especially popular. The writer&#8217;s father died similarly, having shot himself with a gun. Father’s death was a real shock for young Ernest Hemingway; he could not forgive his dad’s weakness. As if a terrible curse haunts the Hemingway family, and after his death, his younger brother and the writer&#8217;s granddaughter committed suicide.</span></p>

<h3>FBI and the Death of Ernest Hemingway </h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The whole sequence of events and actions of doctors in Ketchum, wife Mary, psychiatrists in New York, and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester convinces us that none of them wanted to treat the patient&#8217;s condition comprehensively systematically. Neither Mary nor any of Hemingway&#8217;s friends, nor doctors tried to hear the writer. Yes,  it wasn&#8217;t easy to make an accurate diagnosis. But we now have evidence that the FBI directly or indirectly influenced the doctors&#8217; conclusions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">FBI management revealed an archive file of Ernest Hemingway 20 years after the death. It turned out that agents followed the writer since 1942.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">John Edgar Hoover, who directed the FBI for 50 years, received confidential and secret messages about Hemingway&#8217;s activities and his entourage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The FBI file contains details about the writer&#8217;s treatment at the Mayo Clinic in 1961 in Rochester. The agent reported to his superiors that Hemingway was at the medical center under George Savior. The report notes that the writer is being treated with an electric shock. We may assume that one of Hemingway&#8217;s doctors was an informants and, possibly, an FBI agent. The treatment methods and the burden on the patient were known to the experts of the special service. They could not help but understand that Hemingway&#8217;s health is under great threat.<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5984" src="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-21.32.43.jpg" alt="Ernest Hemingway Death" width="1687" height="1118" srcset="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-21.32.43.jpg 1687w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-21.32.43-300x199.jpg 300w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-21.32.43-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-21.32.43-768x509.jpg 768w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-21.32.43-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-21.32.43-360x239.jpg 360w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-21.32.43-150x99.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1687px) 100vw, 1687px" /></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">These stunning vintage </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Las Vegas </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">pictures shed light on the pre- and an early neon era of the city.</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nowadays, Las Vegas is the world&#8217;s capital of entertainment, but it was a bit different back in vintage days. But no one could guess that the city will develop this way on the day of its foundation in 1905. It was a modest settlement amidst a rocky desert, and its name &#8220;Las Vegas,&#8221; which ironically means &#8220;fertile valleys&#8221; in Spanish. It was just an important railway junction for a long time, where trains were refueled, going mainly from west to east and back.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our vintage pictures set covers the whole history of Las Vegas, from the foundation decade to the years when the city became a world-known attraction.</span></p>
<h3>Time to gamble!</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The gambling became legal in the state of Nevada in 1931. At the same time, the construction of the Hoover Dam began 40 kilometers away from Las Vegas. These two factors changed the fate of the city dramatically. After WWII, lavishly decorated hotels, gambling establishments, and entertainment became synonymous with Las Vegas. The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino is the oldest continuously operating hotel and casino in Las Vegas. It is located in the city center on Fremont Street, opened in 1906 as the Nevada Hotel.</span></p>

<h3>Vintage pictures of nuclear mushrooms</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nuclear mushrooms were another entertainment that attracted tourists to Las Vegas in the 1950s. The test site was not so far away from the city, and people could observe the most significant nuclear explosions out of a total of 928 that were made. The first one was in January 1951. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The nuclear explosion in Nevada this morning (February 2, 1951) is reputedly by far-flung observers the most violent of the four this week. It shook Las Vegas from 64 to 112 kilometers away like an earthquake. Buildings swayed, shop windows shattered. The flash, first white, then orange and finally yellow, was seen from the farthest distance compared to any other that had previously occurred”.</span></p>

It’s the third volume of this series. </span></p>

<h3><a href="https://oldpics.net/outstanding-soviet-ww2-pictures-part-i-max-alpert/">Outstanding Soviet WW2 pictures (Part I: Max Alpert)</a></h3>
<h3><a href="https://oldpics.net/outstanding-soviet-wwii-pictures-part-2-dmitri-baltermants/">Outstanding Soviet WWII pictures (Part 2: Dmitri Baltermants) </a></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now let’s take a look at WW2 pictures of Emmanuil Evzerikhin. He has some iconic world-famous photography in his portfolio too. We mean his photo of a fountain with dancing figures of children in the middle of ruined Stalingrad. This image became another gloomy symbol of WW2. Yevzerikhin&#8217;s scenes are generally atypical. Yes, there are many masterful combat photographs, but when selecting the brightest ones, you will pay attention to their symbolism, meaningfulness, whether it’s the cemetery of Hitler&#8217;s soldiers in liberated Stalingrad or the aircraft resembling a huge corn cob.</span></p>
<h3>The road to combat photography</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There was a lack of photo reporters in the USSR when WW2 broke out. Here’s how TASS (Russian version of AP) invited Emmanuil Evzerikhin to shoot war chronicles for them. He went through the entire war, filming many significant historical events. During the Battle of Stalingrad, Emmanuil became a real photo poet, as photo colleagues called him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Stalingrad series of photographs by Evzerikhin became the master&#8217;s visiting card; simple and expressive scenes grabbed editors&#8217; attention and hit the print uncountable times. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Evzerikhin captured the real, hungry, and destroyed the city of Stalingrad and its people. Panoramas of a burning city with &#8220;blinded&#8221; windows of houses; the frightening emptiness of extinct streets; Pictures of captured Germans are with despair in their eyes. Those WW2 pictures make you empathize with people who have become victims of the war. Frozen, miserable, wrapped in rags, and lined up in uneven ranks. The soldiers wander through the white snow to nowhere, their faces and figures leave only the feeling of the monstrosity of any war.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emmanuil Evzerikhin participated in the <a href="https://oldpics.net/soviet-soldiers-and-a-white-bear-in-kaliningrad-zoo-1980/">Battle of Konigsberg</a>, the liberation of Minsk. He filmed the battles of the cities of Poland and Czechoslovakia, including the bloody Prague operation.</span></p>

Just take a look at these historical ‘shotgunning weed’ pictures!</span></h3>
<p>Oldpics has already published some noteworthy pictures of the <a href="https://oldpics.net/vintage-pictures-of-us-navy-sailors-spending-free-time-hawaii-1945/">US Navy sailors during their free time</a> in Hawaii in 1945. Let&#8217;s take a look at the marine&#8217;s routine during the Vietnam War.</p>
<h3>How the weed shotgunning was invented</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1970, the US army in Vietnam switched from offensive operations to training South Vietnamese troops and holding garrison defenses. Trying to deal with boredom and low morale, many began to smoke marijuana. Note that in Vietnam, you can find cannabis as easy as high schoolers do. It grows literally everywhere, and its quality is just excellent. At the same time, unlike high schoolers, US soldiers didn’t have any tobacco paper or bong, so here why that used what they had: shotguns. Here’s how the weed shotgunning was invented!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On November 13, 1970, a documentary team captured American soldiers in a small jungle clearing in War Zone D, 50 miles northeast of Saigon. The team leader Vito is a 20-year-old recruit from Philadelphia. He demonstrated how his squad used a 12-gauge &#8216;Ralph&#8217; (nickname) shotgun for the cameras.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vito discharged the barrel, inserted a lighted pipe with marijuana into it, and invited his comrades to inhale the smoke that came from the long barrel. Yes, that’s how shotgunning weed looks like!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Solomon Butcher photography is an important visual source for understanding the routine of the American settlers’ lives. Solomon Butcher preserved her history in 3,500 glass negatives documenting the Great Plains pioneers&#8217; lives between 1886 and 1912.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Settlers defined a new life on the prairies, huddled in turf huts, erected outbuildings, cultivated wild virgin lands, and upset estates. Solomon Butcher captured the formation of the first farms and constructed a new way of life, never seen before.</span></p>
<h3>From a salesman to the settler</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Solomon D. Butcher was born in Virginia in 1856. He graduated from high school in Illinois. Young Solomon became an apprentice of a tintype master, from whom he learned the art and science of photography. After that, he entered military school but studied for only one semester and started a salesman’s Ohio career.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1880 Solomon Butcher found that his father had quit his railroad job to build a farm in Custer County, Nebraska. He was pretty tired of sales traveling, by that moment, and agreed to head west with his family. They hit the road in March and covered more than a thousand kilometers with two covered carriages. Young Butcher admitted that he was ill-suited for a pioneer&#8217;s life and returned his land to the government two weeks later.</span></p>

<h3>How Solomon Butcher started his photo career</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the early 1880s, Solomon Butcher entered Minnesota Medical College, where he met his future wife, Lilly Barber Hamilton. In October 1882, he and his bride returned to Nebraska. As a schoolteacher, he saved his teacher’s dollars and borrowed money to buy land and acquire photographic equipment. This building became the first photography studio in Caster. The young family lived there until September 1883, when Butcher completed the turf living space next to the studio.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Financial problems forced Solomon Butcher to move his family from city to city. In 1886, he latched onto the idea of ​​creating a photographic history of Custer County. The photographer&#8217;s father agreed to lend him a van, and Butcher embarked on an odyssey of nation-level value. The journey was difficult. He spent hours driving off-road from house to house. He often used printouts to pay for food, lodging, and stables for his horses.</span></p>
<p>The financial problems of Solomon Butcher remind us of <a href="https://oldpics.net/yosemite-and-the-best-of-carleton-watkins-photos/">Carleton Watkins, another outstanding photographer</a> of that period who didn&#8217;t manage to extract the money value out of his photography.</p>

<h3>The Middle West history in pictures of Butcher</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Butcher continued to photograph from 1886 to 1911. The success of his 1901 Pioneer Stories of Custer County, Nebraska, was the author&#8217;s greatest lifetime achievement. In 1904, he published Sod Houses, or The Rise of the American Great Plains: A Painterly Story of the People and Means that Conquered This Wonderful Country. His photo collection grew, but it was not possible to raise funds for other publications. Again Solomon Butcher moved from town to town, and it became increasingly difficult to transport his huge collection of glass plates.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Solomon Butcher was an astute photographer, but he died without realizing the significance of his photographs. He documented the Great Plains&#8217; settlement in the harsh environments of Nebraska&#8217;s Sandy Hills, candidly portraying everyday life on the prairie. A collection of over 3,000 of his digitized works is kept in the Library of Congress collections. Some of the images are available in high resolution and accompanied by descriptions by the photographer.</span></p>

Frank Horvat was one of them. In 1956, he photographed prostitutes, strippers, and visitors to a nightclub in the Pigalle square area.</span></p>

Pigalle square was in the center of all poems and songs, but this place didn&#8217;t look very pleasant. It was shabby and dirty. Although you can take excellent photos.&#8221;</span></p>

<h3>Who was Frank Horvat</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Frank Horvat was born in 1928 in Opatija (then Italy, nowadays &#8211; the territory of Croatia). At the age of fifteen, he traded his collection of postage stamps for a 35mm Retinamat camera. In Horvat moved to Lugano, Switzerland. Then, in the late 1940s, he lived in Milan, studied at the Brera Academy of Arts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He first visited the French capital in 1950. During the short business trip (taking some advertising photoshoots), Frank Horvat met well-known photographers <a href="https://oldpics.net/the-falling-soldier-by-robert-capa-1936-a-story-behind/">Robert Capa</a> and <a href="https://oldpics.net/henri-cartier-bresson-photos/">Henri Cartier-Bresson</a>. His prompt meeting with those prominent cameramen meant a lot for a young Horvat. He switched to the Leica camera and traveled to Pakistan and India, taking photos and looking for a unique shooting style.</span></p>
<h3>Moving to Paris in the 1950s</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1956 Horvat moved to Paris. He was 28 years old, and his reportage photographs hit the Italian magazine Epoca pages in 1951, Paris Match, Life and Picture Post. Soon after his moval to Paris, a New York-based agency commissioned him to photograph a &#8220;sexy&#8221; story about the ill-famed Parisian nightlife. The photographer happily accepted the task because he needed money.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Horvat went to Pigalle Square, on the border of the 9th and 18th districts. This place was a kind of red-light district in Paris. It was famous for sex shops and frivolous adult entertainment venues, including the famous Moulin Rouge cabaret. Here, at the Pigalle, there was once the studio of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. It was a place where Vincent Van Gogh, Andre Breton, and Pablo Picasso lived.</span></p>
<h3>The difficulties of the entrance</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Horvat, unsurprisingly, couldn’t enter any of the nightlife locations with his camera. The only place he could infiltrate to was the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Le Sphinx club.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> It wasn’t the largest and not the most prestigious strip club, named after the legendary Parisian brothel. Nonetheless, this place was well-known. Brassai and Man Ray had their brilliant photoshoots here in the 1930s, Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart visited it, and Marlene Dietrich met Madeleine Solange.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The doorman of the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Le Sphinx</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> let Frank Horvat into the club for 5,000 francs. The photographer had fifteen minutes only, as his presence provoked a protest from the girls. However, Horvat turned out to be a quick photographer and, by that time, had managed to shoot five films. One of the most famous photographs taken that night (below) took the Vogue magazine&#8217;s whole spread.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The photographer stayed in France and documented life in the capital, but this is a completely different story. And in this collection, &#8220;Paris for tourists&#8221; or &#8220;Paris at night&#8221; 1950s through the lens of Frank Horvat. Most of the pictures are from the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Le Sphinx</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> club, but there are also a few pictures from the rue Saint-Denis.</span></p>

<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t know if he is a businessman or a tourist, but the main thing is that he is alone and drinks champagne,” Horvat said about that photo. &#8211; It doesn&#8217;t look like the character is having a great time, but he &#8220;made&#8221; this shot. The eerie painting on the wall behind the visitor contributes to the magic of the stilled moment. When the stripper walked by, her naked body looked like a marble sculpture in the light of the lamps. It was not I who made it, but it was given to me. I can never repeat it again, even if someone pays me a million pounds. &#8220;</span></p>
