Alfred Eisenstaedt - The Photojournalist of the Century

Premiere at La Scala, 1934. "In Italy, I photographed a gala evening at La Scala. This was one of my first pictures with a Leica on a tripod. Suddenly I saw a lovely young society girl sitting next to an empty box. From that box I took this picture, with the girl in the foreground... Without the girl I would not have had a memorable picture."

- Alfred Eisenstaedt
