Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Dirck Halstead is one of America’s preeminent photojournalists, whose iconic images have graced more covers of Time magazine than any other photographer’s. From the battlefields of Vietnam to the halls of the White House to film sets around the world, Halstead’s sense of timing and eye for the revealing shot was unerring throughout his 50-year career. Among the 300 photographs in this collection are many that are instantly recognizable, such as Bill Clinton embracing Monica Lewinsky, or Nixon saluting with his famous V-for-victory sign. Others have become more resonant with the passage of time. Throughout, Halstead provides fast-paced, lively, and engaging accounts of his experiences in the field. A one-of-a-kind autobiography in words and pictures, Moments in Time is a half-century of history seen through one photographer’s lens.

About the Author
Dirck Halstead’s photos have won every major prize in the industry, including the Robert Capa gold medal and two Eisies. He is currently a senior fellow in photojournalism at the Center for American History at the University of Texas, and he runs the award-winning webzine the Digital Journalist. Halstead lives in Austin, TX.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moments In Time By Dirck Halstead -- A Supurb Book!, December 18, 2006
By C. N. Sting (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is not just a book of photography, but the story of the life of a photojournalist. The photography in this book is great, but I enjoyed reading the text even more. The dialog is entertaining and informative, and it is almost like the author is talking to you, like in a conversation. You are not going to be disappointed if you purchase this book. This is not a "Coffee Table" book, but rather one that you are going to want to pick up and read. Outstanding job, Mr. Halstead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Look over his Halstead's shoulder through nearly a half century of world history, March 17, 2007
Over the course of a long airline flight, I picked up Halstead's book and found myself unable to put it down through three cross-country legs (even through the obligatory bit about putting everything away and raising tray tables... but I digress). Far more than the tale of a photographer's look through the lens over the course of several decades, this book provides insights, commentary and background to some of the most photographed events in the last half century... as well as the pictures themselves.
Exceptionally well written for a guy who is known for his reporting via a lens, Halstead's work is at times, funny, always intriguing and a thoroughly engrossing read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moments in Time, January 6, 2007
Not long after I started reading the book I found it to be a lot more than a lifetime Photographer's experiences. It is a thinking and caring Photojournalist's eye witness insight to Historical events of the latter half of the 20th century.Dirck gives a romantic vieu of Saigon City with the range of honest emotions that war times generate. He also presents unique insights to the performances of past presidents that served while he was a White House photographer. Dirck does this with an eye for significant events through both word and pictures. The historical and artistic content of the pictures is a bonus.A rewarding read.
