Some weeks ago I discovered in the university's library of old & used books the catalogue of an exhibition about Walter Reuter (Berlin 1906-Cuernavaca 2005), the guy who revolutionized the photo-journalism in Mexico.
The adventures of his life are worth a reading, and his pictures are amazing. He used to work with the Magnum photographers and with Manuel Álvarez Bravo, among many others. Like Dr. Atl, we also worked several years on the Paricutín volcano. He also was the cameraman of the film "Raíces", which won a prize in Cannes (1955).
By the way: this is the best portrait of Dionisio Pulido I have ever seen. Since it was not on the internet, I scanned it (Neue Gesellschaft für Bildende Kust e.V., "Walter Reuter. Berlin, Madrid, Mexiko. 60 Jahre. Fotografie und Film (1930-1990)", Argon, 1990, p.52.).
