Alfred Eisenstaedt
b. 12-6-1898; Dirschau, Imperial Germany (Poland)
d. 8-24-1995; Oak Bluffs, MA
Alfred Eisenstaedt, one of the original staff photographers for LIFE magazine when it was launched in 1936, came to the US in 1935. He is best remembered for his candid photographs such as an American soldier kissing a young woman in Times Square during a V-J Day celebration, August 14, 1945.
• “Once the amateur's naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.”
• “When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear.”
• “It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter.”
• “We are only beginning to learn what to say in a photograph. The world we live in is a succession of fleeting moments, any one of which say something significant.”

Marching Children-
University of Michigan/LIFE™ Cover, 1950 (GO BLUE!)
"Another picture I hope to be remembered by is this one of the drum major rehearsing at the University of Michigan. It was early in the morning, and I saw a little boy running after him, and all the faculty children in the playing field ran after the boy, and I ran after them. This is a completely spontaneous, unstaged picture." - Alfred Eisenstaedt
