This is an excerpt from WCVB-TV (Boston) "Chronicle" which profiled the photographer Yousef Karsh, an Armenian refugee who became one of the world's most sought-after portrait photographers. He is known for his portraits of Winston Churchill, Muhammad Ali, Indira Gandhi, Ernest Hemingway, Audrey Hepburn, Pope John Paul II, Helen Keller, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, Albert Einstein, Laurence Olivier, Pablo Picasso, Pope Pius XII, George Bernard Shaw, Andy Warhol, Frank Lloyd Wright, Humphrey Bogart, Fidel Castro, Dwight Eisenhower, Robert Frost, and Clark Gable. (Broadcast October 14, 2011)
My grandfather was friends with him.
He met him many years ago in Ottawa
and he helped him set up my grandfathers studio.
My uncle became head of Kodak Camera in England.
Perhaps Karsh influenced my family's success in photography?
I think I met Karsh at my grandfathers furneral but was very young at the time.
Thank you Karsh for helping my family.... :)
