Part of what makes President Kennedy's legacy so potent is that he was not able to realize his full term as President. It leaves unanswered questions. So even though we are celebrating his 100th birthday, his death is certainly on our minds, too.
How do you visually grasp a nation's astonishment at the news of Kennedy's death? Photojournalist Carl Mydans' photograph of strangers on a train each reading about the same subject is a brilliant use of the headlines in the newspapers. But it is the portrait of JFK that looks out at the viewer that adds to the eerie drama of this photograph.
Carl Mydans favored Leica cameras, like many photojournalists, for their excellent lenses, quiet shutters, and ability to use 35mm film, which allowed Mydans to be quick and unobtrusive on the train.
