Dirck Halstead is one of Americas preeminent photojournalists, whose iconic images have graced more covers of Time magazine than any other photographers. From the battlefields of Vietnam to the halls of the White House to film sets around the world, Halsteads 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 photographers lens.

One of the most enjoyable books from a fellow photographer/photojournalist and colleague I've read in some time.

Moments in Time: Photos and Stories from One of America's Top Photojournalists, by Dirck Halstead

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 24, 2009

This is a book that you will not want to set down - it is incredibly rich with presidential photos Dirck has taken in his long career as White House photographer for Time magazine. Dirck's battlefield photos of the Vietnam War left me speechless - he has had the knack of being in the right place at the right time - over and over again, to capture history as it happened. But this is not just a picture book - Dirck is a polished journalist who has written riveting stories that describe his adventures as he created these photos. It will give you a sobering appreciation for what a photojournalist endures, certainly what he has endured, to capture onto film that fleeting moment that will live on in the world's collective memories. Above all, reading Dirck's accounts will make you feel, as it did for me, that you are alongside him for every assignment - that you were a witness as these historical moments unfolded! I highly recommend this book - Jeff Miller

Amazing Adventure in Reading!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

When I pick up a book to read, it must have adventure, personal reflections, a soul to inspire me, and the author who I can admire -and consider a friend for life. Halstead's life, his photojournalistic gifts of excellence, and sense of historical values, meets all of my expectations. His "Eye on the World" - and his interpretations of each photo brought excitement and true understanding to my reading experience. I felt as I was on the same delicious trip with the author.
Regardless of ones interest in life, Halsteads book will turn your eye on adventure, and turn you loose on the world!

Moments In Time By Dirck Halstead -- A Supurb Book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2006

Verified Purchase

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!

The best photographer in DC and an award-winner in Vietnam presents the story of his career. No photojournalist should go out in the field without reading this book.

Now in semi-retirement at the University of Texas in Austin - it covers his early newspaper years, time in Viet Nam and life as the uncrowned dean of White House photogs.

If you are a photog or have worked in journalism - a great read!

I was in Vietnam and enjoyed the photos. Later I was on USS Midway during Saigon exacuation. While Dick's story wasn't entirely accurate, it was close enough and once again, I rally enjoyed the photos.

A Wonderful Book !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

and a PROPER book on Photojournalism at last and one I think it unlikely to better.Dirck Halstead takes us through his experiences of the Vietnam War, something I still clearly remember over 40 years on, and he paints such a clear picture when one reads his daily reports along with viewing his photos that you can almost smell the smells of Saigon!
He also introduces us to the start of his career as Time's senior White House photographer and of the various Presidents and their wives he met and photographed, mentioning the mean-ness and frugality of The Carters and how refreshing it was when The Reagans arrived, especially at Christmas. How genuinely polite and considerate Ronald Reagan was to ALL his staff! There is a brief piece covering the Beirut War and a posed photo of Yassar Arafat,an article on Hollywood and one on Francis Ford Coppola and yet another on The Clintons.
An exceptionally good book and one it's hard to put down.
