In later accounts he would describe crossing the beach without being shot like walking through a rainstorm and not getting wet. Those accomplishments alone would make for a distinguished career. However, Rosenthal was best known for a single photograph — a picture that is considered to be one of the greatest moments ever captured on film: the raising of the American Flag at Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima. On Feb. 23, 1945, Joe Rosenthal was a 33-year-old photographer for the Associated Press. He was assigned to cover a battle that would drag on for more than a month and cost the lives of 6,621 American G.I.s and more than 21,000 Japanese soldiers. Rosenthal was among the first to land on the beach at Iwo Jima. In later accounts he would describe crossing the beach without being shot like walking through a rainstorm and not getting wet. On the fifth day of fighting, the Americans captured the 546foot peak of a dormant volcano named Mount Suribachi. In triumph, they raised a flag. A weary Rosenthal ascended Mount Suribachi to photograph the flag-raising. Upon reaching the summit, he stood frozen in disappointment. He had missed the moment. At the pinnacle of a makeshift flagpole, he focused his eyes through Coke-bottle thick glasses to see the Stars and Stripes flapping defiantly in the wind. The message of victory was clear, but in the estimation of the Marine Corps, the flag was too small. So while Rosenthal stood anguishing a moment lost, an event occurred that would change his life. Five battle-weary Marines and a Corpsman appeared, and began Just One More, Jr • September 2006 hy do we do it? I had always wanted to be a reporter. But back in the days before spell check, my keyboard atrocities made that dream an impossibility. So, as a junior in high school, I picked up a camera and started shooting for the yearbook staff. It was a great opportunity to be in the front row, and on the sidelines to record the events that shaped my school. I evolved as a shooter, and in college I shot for the Criterion at Mesa State, and the Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction, Colo. I hoped, in my idealistic youth, that some day I would make a photograph that would change the world. I wanted to use my lens to document the human condition. I wanted my pictures to invoke thought and emotion. It’s a dream that many of us photojournalists share. It’s a reality for photographers who make a career by capturing poignant moments. That’s why I do it. I began thinking about the art and craft of photojournalism when I read an obituary about Joe Rosenthal. Rosenthal was a staff photographer at the San Francisco Chronicle who retired in 1981 after 35 years of service. During that time he was president of the San Francisco-Oakland Newspaper Guild in 1951 and held the office of president of the Bay Area Press Photographers Assn. for three terms. Twice he was president of the San Francisco Press Club. He was also an honorary member of the PPAGLA.

JIMMIE JAMES WINS AWARD OF DISTINCTION Just One More, Jr • September 2006 J 6 immie James has experienced violence in a way that most of us never will. He has seen it on the streets, and he has seen the way it affects kids. All around him, he has seen gang violence destroy families and lives. So he decided to do something about it. James used the most powerful tool at his disposal to combat violence in the streets: his camera. With no budget and little help he put his heart on his sleeve and talent to work. For his efforts he received the Award of Distinction from The Videographer Awards. James was selected from over 2,300 entries in the 2006 competition. He received the award in April. As a freelance videographer, and a member of the PPAGLA, James wrote, produced, directed, shot and edited the documentary titled “OGs Refuse to Give Up and Stop.” The 50minute film interlaces interviews, and re-enact- ments along with video clips and still photographs depicting gang violence in the streets of Los Angeles. In the opening scene, decrepit old gang bangers hang out on a street corner. They sit on the curb with crutches, walkers and a wheelchair discussing their refusal to give up a life of crime. Soon, a gangster in a wheelchair rolls past and pulls a gun for a drive-by shooting. The satire is followed with interviews from leaders in the African American community who talk about the effect that gang violence has in their neighborhoods. The focus of the film is to find a solution. Prominently featured are Yvonne B. Burk, Los Angeles County Supervisor for the 2nd District; Ron Dungee, Managing Editor of the Los Angeles Sentinel; Roosevelt F. Dorn, Mayor of the city of Inglewood as well as many clergymen, musicians and police officers. James hopes that the film will have a chilling effect for gangsters and school aged children who see it. It has been screened at the Watts Towers, in Los Angeles schools and on community cable channels. — John McCoy PPAGLA President JOMjr-0906 9/6/06 9:49 PM Page 7 MONTHLY CONTEST RESULTS JULY 2006 5FIRST PLACE, SPORTS: Dodger Ramon Martinez makes a nice diving stop on Diamondback Tony Clark in the second inning.

Bel Air Camera is at 10925 Kinross Ave. in Westwood, and the gallery is open during Bel Air Camera’s regular business hours. Photographers from the Associated Press, Reuters, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News, Ventura County Star, PressEnterprise, Pasadena Star-News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Long Beach Press-Telegram and many other publications will present some of their most artistic photojournalism. Images from around the world and Southern California, including portraits, news, sporting events and human interest situations are in the show. The curated exhibit seeks to highlight photojournalism that goes beyond basic reporting, presenting images that are rich with artistic qualities, from the picturesque to the surreal. Terry Pierson Just One More, Jr • September 2006 WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS 10 Dan Watson Acrobats from a Las Vegas Cirque Du Soleil troupe read the PPAGLA’s 2004 JOM annual at a publicity event to promote a Las Vegas Concierge service at Burbank’s Bob Hope Airport. MESSAGE, from page 3 to replace the flag with a larger version of Old Glory that could be seen from the entire 7.5 square mile island. It was high noon. Rosenthal set the shutter at a 400th of a second, and made history. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his photograph. But that was only an accolade for what many argue as the best photograph ever taken in a time of war. The picture has been reproduced countless times in newspapers, magazines, on calendars, postage stamps, and even immortalized in bronze. The image was used as an inspirational symbol for a War Bond drive in 1945 that raised $26.3 billion. The photo was the model for the gigantic bronze Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington, Va. The monument stands 110 feet tall and weighs more than 100 tons. Now that’s a photo with impact. That is a photograph that inspired emotion, invoked a lot of thought, and probably changed the world. Joe Rosenthal died peacefully in his sleep at the Atria Tamalpais Creek assisted living center in Novato on Aug. 20. He was 94.
