The impressive collection of portraits includes Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall in the 1960s, Queen Elizabeth in Ethiopia, and Louis Armstrong sipping beer at a Queens barbershop...Mariah Carey lounging at a friend's apartment in the 1990s, Maya Angelou, weeks before she read a poem at Bill Clinton's inauguration, and Annie Leibovitz atop the Chrysler Building.-- The Cut, New York Magazine Loengard counted everyone from monarchs to pop stars among his subjects. Vanity Fair once called him 'an oracle, ' but he shrugs off such praise. 'Taking a photograph, ' he says, 'is as simple as boiling an egg.'-- The Telegraph (UK) The earliest picture in John Loengard's Moment by Moment was taken in 1953 when he was a Harvard undergraduate; an attractive young woman in an overcoat and scarf leads students through a snow-covered Harvard Yard to class. Mr. Loengard already knew how 'to let the camera marry reality to form' (his prescription for a successful picture), and a few years later became a LIFE staff photographer.-- The Wall Street Journal Author InformationJohn Loengard's distinguished career in photography has largely been in the context of his long association with LIFE magazine.
