“The Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 concerned my life directly. It was my country. I took these photographs for myself, not for a magazine. It was only by chance that they were published. I wasn’t a reporter. I had never photographed anything that you would call ‘news’. Suddenly, for the first time in my life, I was confronted with that kind of situation. I responded to it. I knew it was important to photograph, so I photographed. I didn’t think much about what I was doing.” Fifty years ago, Magnum Photos photographer Josef Koudelka documented the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. The images were originally published and credited to P. P. (Prague Photographer). http://bit.ly/2vZYDbA -- source link
