About this ebook

From presidents to royalty, war torn regions to stunning scenery, the camera of John Jochimsen has captured it all. Perhaps the last person left alive today who was with Queen Elizabeth the day she became queen, John is one of the last remaining old school photojournalists. Eighty Years gone in a Flash traces the remarkable story in his own words, and with his own incredible pictures. From life at The News of the World to the jungles of Malaya, John provides an honest, witty and touching account of a colourful career spanning more than five decades.

    * I received an advance copy of this book through Goodreads.

    This is the personal memoir of John Jochimsen, from his childhood during WWII, through decades as a professional photographer.

    It was an interesting and engaging read. Jochimsen's career was varied and eventful, and he is great at describing his assignments overseas. I particularly enjoyed the sections on his time in Africa covering Princess Elizabeth's tour (which was interrupted by the death of the King), and his time in Malaya.

    I did note a few grammatical errors, and Jochimsen is not one to describe his feelings in great depth. However, his voice comes through clearly. He is a bit of a prankster and has a good sense of humour about his experiences, and the book is sprinkled with some amusing anecdotes.

    I'd certainly recommend this to anyone interested in photography and its history. Jochimsen has worked in many types of photography - journalism, editorial, government, and commercial - and has worked through major changes in the profession.

    A good selection of photos is included (all black and white), including photos of him in action.
