On an eight-hour train journey in June of 1968, Paul Fusco shot picture after picture of the crowds who came out to witness Bobby Kennedy’s body being carried to its grave.
. Fusco carried three cameras with him on the train: two Leica rangefinder cameras and a Nikon S.L.R. For almost all of the shots, he used Kodachrome film, and he took around a thousand pictures. By the end of the journey, as dusk fell, his exposure times were up to one second.
Fusco’s photographs are amazing in pretty much every way. Technically, the Kodachrome film produces a highly saturated image. It was a hot day, but it was June, and the light—Fusco seems to have been shooting people on the west side of the tracks, which must have been a challenge as the sun dropped in the sky—is an almost palpable, weighty presence.
All but two of Fusco’s photographs remained unpublished for thirty years. This seems to have been a consequence of the fact that, was a weekly, so that by the time the next issue ofprinted two of Fusco’s pictures, in black and white.
