Bert Stern on photographing Magnum members (circa 1961): “Magnum was having a meeting in New York, and I thought it would be fun to photograph them with an 8x10 camera, since they were well known for shooting with 35mm,” recalls Stern. Cartier-Bresson, notoriously shy about having his picture taken, complied–but with a caveat. “He asked me not to publish the picture,” says Stern, who put the contacts from the shoot away and forgot them. “Now, after 40 years, I don’t think Cartier-Bresson will mind.”
