1941: This picture was taken one Saturday afternoon at a jam session in a St. Louis tavern. This particular couple caught my eye because they seemed to summarize the jitterbug character of the day. I pre-focused the camera on one spot on the dance floor and set the camera vertically on the floor. When they danced to my spot, I snapped the shutter, not even looking through the viewfinder. In 1945, when Edward Steichen reviewed my portfolio, he paused at this photograph and said, "Young man, if you keep making photographs like this one, you'll be a good photographer someday.”
