Photojournalist Dennis Stock visits Planet of the Apes

Photographer Dennis Stock (1928-2010), a legend of the Magnum Photos cooperative, is most famous for his 1955 shot of James Dean in Times Square. Following that, he made stunning photos of the era's jazz greats -- Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa, Billie Holiday -- and compiled those into the classic monograph Jazz Street. In 1967 though, Stock paid a visit to the Planet of the Apes. (via death_watlz_records)

Dennis Stock must be the most prolific photographer ever. I see Stock photography everywhere.

What an amazing photo! Obsessed with POTA as a boy – the reaity of the apes as beings and as “us” – good and bad – but never forgetting the bad. I kinda wanted to be one. There any any pics of those mutants from Beneath POTA in everyday situations? That’d tip me over the edge.
