What? Can't a guy have a conversation with his carpool buddy near the beach, without people losing it and snapping a photo. It's only when the little guy answers back that you have to worry.
1954 Photograph of Pablo Casals, still considered the best cellist ever. The photo was taken by the late, world renowned Canadian photographer, Yousuf Karsh. Here’s a synopsis of the photo session written by Karsh himself :
“In the Abbey de Cuxa in Prades, I spent several glorious hours with the master of the cello. Our rapport was instantaneous - he trusted me to carry his cherished instrument. I was so moved on listening to him play Bach that I could not, for some moments, attend to photography. I have never photographed anyone, before or since, with his back turned to the camera, but it seemed to me just right. For me, the bare room conveys the loneliness of the artist, at the pinnacle of his art, and also the loneliness of exile.”
