VINTAGE ATOM


Haunting imagery from 1945 to 1962, when the US military was detonating hundreds of nuclear bombs in the atmosphere; photographers struggled to document the destructive effects of the explosions. George Yoshitake, 82, is one of the few cameraman who is still alive. With a special camera with a shutter that worked incredibly fast he captured some close up explosions of a nuclear bomb.
