That darkroom background, actually. . .
:07:03
. . .was one of the bedrock things. . .
:07:06
. . .that enabled him to develop
a very high level. . .
:07:10
. . .of sophistication
about photography. . .
:07:13
. . .and then finally cinematography.

Stanley was fascinated by photography.
:07:18
He was the photographer on the school
newspaper and looked for pictures. . .
:07:22

We interrupt for
a special news bulletin.
:07:27
A press association has just announced
that President Roosevelt is dead.
:07:33
Roosevelt was a god to us.
That's what my mother said. She said:
:07:37
"I'm not sure there's a God,"
when he died.
:07:41
And then when he took that picture,
whoa.
:07:45
It made everybody that saw it cry.
They'd just start to cry.
:07:49
He looked like just
the world had ended. . .
:07:53
. . .and Stanley just got that.
:07:55
It was this photograph of a news vendor
mourning the death of Roosevelt. . .
:07:59
. . .that transformed the amateur
into a professional.
:08:03
Stanley was just 1 6 when he sold
this picture to Look...
:08:07
. . .one of America's great
illustrated magazines.
:08:11
When he graduated high school,
he joined Look as a photographer. . .
:08:15
. . .taking thousands of pictures. . .
:08:17
. . .experimenting and gaining experience
for the next stage of his career.
