"Tokuho Matsushige" by Ace Preston Hiroshima by ACE PRESTON

Yoshito Matsushige took pictures immediately after the bombing 2,270m from the hypocenter west end of Miyuki Bridge about 1100 hrs on August 6, 1945.
In "The Viewfinder Clouded with Tears" he wrote: "I fought with myself for 30 minutes before I could take the first picture. After taking the first, I grew strangely calm and wanted to get closer. I took about ten steps forward and tried to snap another, but the scenes I saw were so gruesome my viewfinder clouded with tears."
