Over 80 years ago, but it could be today, in so many places. Your photography history post for today: by Wayne Miller (1918-2013), Two Boys, Naples, Italy, 1944. #photography #WarPhotography #photographyhistory #worldwarII
Excerpts from his obituary in the New York Times: ‘Mr. Miller, the Chicago-born son of a doctor and a nurse, was given a camera as a high school graduation present and a few years later enrolled in art school. Quickly determining that it did not suit him, he joined the Navy, and that, perhaps surprisingly, was where he got his first real chance to do what he wanted to do: “to photograph mankind,” he once put it, “and explain man to man.”
Mr. Miller was one of a half-dozen photographers asked by the photographer and curator Edward Steichen to join a special Navy photography unit he had formed during World War II. Mr. Miller traveled the world in his new role, capturing American soldiers in battle from the Philippines to the south of France, hopscotching his way through combat zones with rare freedom for a soldier…
“Miller’s work is intimate but never presumptuous; each black-and-white image retains its mystery,” [critic Margo] Jefferson wrote. “You realize there is more to know about this community than a camera’s eye — or ours — can find. It is part of his gift that he knows this, too.”’ ~ By William Yardley, “Wayne Miller, Photographer of War and Peace, Dies at 94,” The New York Times, May 25, 2013.

Your photography history photo for today was taken 81 years ago: an Italian boy looks out over the river Adige and the Victory Bridge (Ponte della Vittoria), dynamited by the Germans, photo by Schmidt, 196th Signal Photo Co., Verona, Italy, 26 April 1945. #photography #WarPhotography #photographyhistory
From the Army Pictorial Center, Signal Corps Photographic Center: ‘The 196th Signal Photographic Company under direction of Army Pictorial Service became activated on 24 February 1945 at Trespiano, Italy…
The mission of this command was to gather both still and motion pictures. The pictures to be secured were of many varieties. While their primary objective was to secure pictures of combat, the various missions entailed all types of record, historical, publicity, strategic and others of a morale-building nature. The company had a laboratory, which moved constantly with the organization itself and a well set-up headquarters personnel which had to keep the forward elements of the command teams always supplied with materials and necessities to aid them in completing their hazardous missions. For instance, in keeping the vehicles always read for their difficult journeys through rough terrain. Seeing the food, PX supplies, changes of clothing and photographic supplies were ever on hand. The Headquarters camera repair department had to have the cameras always in top condition. This was particularly difficult due to the many miles that separated the photo combat teams and the headquarters of these teams…
There were many problems to consider. One of them was the difficult terrain over which the teams traveled and the absolute necessity of getting their pictures back to Corps. After all, old pictures, of a particular news and noteworthy occasion are of no value if too late to tie in with the news of that particular sector engaged at the time. Getting the pictures to Corps, then flown back to rear laboratories and processed and flown to the States after censorship, was carried on with the least possible delay. Another thing was the constant traveling forward and backward under constant enemy fire.”

In 1966, Joe Piette was drafted and sent to Vietnam to fight for the U.S. He soon came to believe that he was on the wrong side, bought a camera and began to document what he saw. For the ensuing 50 years, he's been an activist photographer, present at demonstrations in Sudan and Congo, at worker strikes and anti-ICE rallies. The Temple News, a paper for Temple University, talked to him about his life and work ahead of an exhibition at TILT Institute, Philadelphia.

July is a month of memories and mourning — not only for Srebrenica, but also for Mostar.
This image, taken in the ruins of what was once a home, speaks of a siege that left deep scars. Mostar is not just history for me — it’s personal, a place that continues to echo in my work and my heart.

Rescue at Rabaul, 1944
In 1944 photographer Horace Bristol, who had been recruited to the US Naval Aviation Photographic Unit, found himself flying near New Britain Island, Papua, New Guinea during a rescue mission. In his own words:
“…we got a call to pick up an airman who was down in the Bay. The Japanese were shooting at him from the island, and when they saw us they started shooting at us. The man who was shot down was temporarily blinded, so one of our crew stripped off his clothes and jumped in to bring him aboard. He couldn’t have swum very well wearing his boots and clothes. As soon as we could, we took off. We weren’t waiting around for anybody to put on formal clothes. We were being shot at and wanted to get the hell out of there. The naked man got back into his position at his gun in the blister of the plane.”
