Hi Here in South Africa we had a public holiday yesterday commemorating the June 16 uprising of the youth in 1976. I know most of us have seen the picture that is related to that day. The picture of the body of Hector Pieterson being carried down the street in Soweto Johannesburg. link to news paper article on the uprising including picture https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/16/soweto-uprising-40-years-on-hector-pieterson-image-shocked-the-world
What I did not know is the story of the photographer Sam Nzima and the fact that he used a pentax camera to take the picture – his story http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/gauteng/hector-pieterson-pic-ruined-my-life-1531027 Patrick -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
