Margaret Bourke-White - A Witness to the Atrocities of WWII

[@RSF-DiscoveryTime]

Your video is excellent, beautiful photos and good narration. 1st and last images are a perfect choice with the Lady & Gargoyle.

Thanks John, glad you liked it! It’s early days yet for the channel so hoping to improve even more as I go along and of course cover many more photographers. So stay tuned!

@@thegeniusofphotography I would also consider cameras themselves. There is ONE particular brand of 35mm still camera that dominated the market. I can't remember the name but there are PLENTY of beautiful photographs produced by this particular camera, I believe some going back to the 1930s or earlier. At one point it had a big huge flashbulb on it...kills me I can't remember the name.

@@RSF-DiscoveryTime Perhaps you're thinking of the Speed Graphic? Though I believe that was a medium format, rather than 35mm...which partly explains why the photos were so beautiful. And good idea! I hadn't thought about cameras, but definitely like that idea. My next few videos will most likely focus on individual photographs, but I'll definitely file that idea away for some point in the future!

She made unprecedented realistic photographs of Stalin 1941. If a Soviet photographer would take such ones, he or she could disappear at Lubyanka cells.

Thanks for the comment and have to admit I didn't know that (though am not surprised). Would love to hear where you read about that - might make a KZbin short about it if I can!

@@МиколаПургенюк I've read in the past that if you have enough photos of Stalin and look closely at the ears, you'll notice some of them are "different". Ears were the only thing plastic surgery couldn't alter in those days. It was rumored Stalin had many "doubles" (look-a-likes) for security & didn't like photos as they exposed this clue.

It would have been better to put the four parts of the video together in one video. As it is I wasted a lot of time going from one to the other and couldn't even find part 4. Is this a "clever" way to increase revenues? I've unsubscribed.

[@thegeniusofphotography]

Sorry about that. I thought it would be easier for me to make one 3 minute video every week, rather than one long 12 minute video. I agree that’s it’s not as good though, so won’t be doing this going forward.

[@williambolton5679]

@@thegeniusofphotography I appreciate that you answered my complaint and didn't hide it. I like your material, so I'll re-subscribe. A lot of people are mining KZbin for revenue these days, encouraged by the company, and that's causing the site to become bloated with offerings, many of which are just click-bait serving advertisers and data-miners. "Shorts" is one way YT encourages people to just post anything, and you can't opt out of them. All the best.

[@thegeniusofphotography]

No problem. The channel's still new and so you'll have to bear with me as I experiment a little with what viewers want. Criticism's always welcome, as long as its constructive!
