From Eisenstaedt on Eisenstaedt: A Self-Portrait
“Another photograph 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 on the playing field ran after the boy, and I ran after them. This is a completely spontaneous, unstaged picture.”
