Published in 1969 it speaks of his time with Life Magazine and how his photography was changed so dramatically when a friend allowed him to use his Leica for a quick shoot. Finally Eisenstaedt found a tool which allowed him to shoot images one after another without stopping to reload a glass plate. Imagine it. He became a changed photographer. We take rapid winders and motor drives for granted. Dear Eisendstaedt was thrilled just to have a film advance and film to advance! An inspiring book.
