A German motorcycle rider sits on what appears to be a captured Belgian Gillet Herstal AB720 motorcycle on a city street presumably in Belgium - date unknown. Note, on the sidecar the 2nd sapper battalion badge appears to have been marked.

Today I discovered a mid-century photographer called Philippe Halsman who photographed the famous people of his era, from Richard Nixon to Marilyn Monroe. At the end of his sessions he would ask the person to jump into the air for a picture, believing that this would cause them to drop their pretenses and public persona, leaving him with a picture of the real person as they made their leap. He called this ‘jumpology’.

This is the photo he took of Robert Oppenheimer in 1958, possibly the most free and unreserved image of him that I’ve ever seen.

The new American prosperity of the early 1950s was won atop the largest bone pile in human history. World War II had claimed the lives of over 40 million soldiers and civilians, and had introduced two radical new forms of mechanized death – the atomic bomb and the extermination camp – that seriously challenged the mind’s ability to absorb, much less cope with, the naked face of horror at mid-century.
