It was. Do you have the Magic Moments book (40 years of Leica M)? This photo is in this as well. I wouldn't call that photo a "magic moment", HCB would agree it's more like a "decisive moment". I wonder what Eddie Adams thinks (does he still live?) of this particular photo. About Che, there's a story I once heard. Rene Burri (of Magnum fame) once did a photo shoot of Che. When he was in Cuba again several years later he saw one of his pictures from that shoot inside a bank. He took a picture of it and was proptly arrested. When he explained he took the original pictures everything was forgiven and he was treated as an honoured guest. Bert K.
