A Moment in Photographic History: Gilles Caron was born July 8, 1939 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. Caron spent three years as a paratrooper fighting a war he opposed in Algeria. In 1967, he co-founded the Gamma photo agency. Caron covered Isreal’s Six-Day War, fighting in Vietnam and Biafra, the 1968 student demonstrations in Paris, as well as riots in Northern Ireland, anti-Soviet demonstrations in Prague, and the Toubou uprising against the central government in Chad in 1970. Caron went missing in a Khmer Rouge-controlled area of Cambodia. - A Photographic Quote of Note: A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it. - - - - - - - Edward Steichen

Michael, you have really caught these bullfight shots perfectly. I can feel the force of the bull through your photographs! Well done. At some point photography becomes a part of who we are. That happened long ago with me. Poor Caron died in the name of Photography!

Wow, this is pretty dramatic. Are you sure this is "viewing life from safety"? :) Wonderful moment you've caught here, especially because the figures add to the tension.
