Hiroshima, Nagasaki : 60 Years On

Ninety-one-year-old Yoshito Matsushige was the only photographer to have taken photos on the very day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The image behind him is the first photo he took at Miyuki-bashi Bridge, a little over two hours after the blast. He took a total of 5 images, the only recorded evidence of that day that changed history. It was not until 1952, when his photos were published in "Life" magazine, that the American public saw the devastation the bomb had caused. Yoshito Matsushige was having breakfast at home, 2.7 kms. from the epicenter. His wife Suémi, who ran a barber shop on the same premises, was cutting hair but managed to escape the fires that ensued.
