40 Must-See Photos From The Past. The phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” was coined by American newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane in 1911. It’s a simple notion that applies to many aspects of our lives, but especially to historical photography. Sometimes, one simple picture can tell you more about history than any story you might read or any document you might analyze. [Read more...] These photographs all tell stories about the historical figures or events that they represent. Perhaps the wars, poverty, fights for freedom and little miracles of the past have lessons for us that we can use today?

U.S. Rara fotografía de la bomba nuclear sobre Hiroshima tomada casi en el instante de la explosión. La explosión de sendas bombas nucleares sobre las ciudades japonesas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki, en agosto de 1945, marcan uno de los momentos más importantes de la historia moderna, una suerte de tope en la escala de (auto)destrucción de la que el ser humano es capaz.
Y si bien los testimonios y elaboraciones posteriores que intentan entender el suceso (destaca, por ejemplo, Hiroshima, mon amour, de Alain Resnais), en esta ocasión compartimos un documento poco conocido que pertenece al instante inmediatamente posterior a la caída de la bomba sobre Hiroshima. La imagen fue encontrada en los archivos de la escuela primaria Honkawa, localizada en Hiroshima, y captura el momento de la explosión según fue avistado en Kaitaichi a casi 10 km al este de esta ciudad y que además del momento en que fue tomada, tiene como segunda particularidad que la nube radioactiva se mira desde una perspectiva a ras del suelo.

Quizá, entre las emociones que el ser humano puede sentir, ninguna tan atávica como el miedo, ninguna tan profunda, tan enraizada en nuestra historia más antigua, lo mismo como individuos que como especie. Sin embargo, con el desarrollo de la cultura las manifestaciones del miedo también se han modificado, pasando de elementos primitivos y en su mayor parte relacionados con la naturaleza, a formas mucho más refinadas y en relación con aspectos de muy diversa índole. Así, por poner un ejemplo, el llamado “temor pánico”, en evidente relación con las potencias indómitas del mundo natural condensadas en el dios Pan, se ha convertido y multiplicado en una profusión de reflejos que recalan a veces en las entidades menos esperadas.
Una atractiva síntesis de esta transformación contemporánea del horror se encuentra en la labor fotográfica del estadounidense Joshua Hoffine, quien ha destacado en el montaje de elaboradas escenas que buscan conceptualizar estos arquetipos contemporáneos del miedo.
