Annie Leibovitz: Nixon’s Resignation

Fotó: Annie Leibovitz: Richard Nixon leaving the White House, Washington, D.C., August 9th, 1974.

“When Nixon walked down the red carpet toward the helicopter that would take him away, there were dozens of press photographers, most of them shooting with long lenses [...] Everyone pretty much moved away after Nixon was inside the helicopter and the door was closed. The guards began rolling up the carpet. It wasn’t the kind of picture that most magazines would want to run or had room to run then, but a lot can be told in those moments in between the main moments.” From the book: Annie Leibovitz At Work.
