“What's important is not what I make happen, but what happens to me.” - Burt Glinn
Burt was working for Life Magazine when Queen Elizabeth was photographed in New York City during her visit to America in 1957. It could be a scene out of “The Crown” but this is the real thing. Burt captured the sense of grandeur of the occasion with his technical prowess and heart.
