Yousuf Karsh,the Canadian portrait artist who photographed many of the most influential figures of the 20th century,died in a Boston hospital on July l3 th,2002.He was 93.
??? Working from a studio in Ottawa,Karsh produced famous portraits of such subjects as Winston Churchill,John F.Kennedy,Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein.Actually he has become almost as famous as his legendary subjects.In the latest edition of Who’s Who,which listed the most notable people of the last century,Karsh was the only Canadian of the 100 famous people listed——51 0f whom Karsh had photographed.
??? As a master portraitist,often working in black and white.Karsh was famous for talking to his subjects as he was getting the shot’s composition just right,asking them questions and putting them at ease.In preparation,he read as much as he could about the sitters,but avoided having the idea beforehand of how he would photograph them.He sought, as he wrote in Karsh Portfolio in 1967,to capture the “essential element which has made them great,” explaining,“All I know is that within every mall a secret is hidden,and as a photographer, it is my task to reveal it if I can.”
Karsh was born in America in 1908,and his uncle,George Nakash,brought him to John Garo,all outstanding photographer,to teach him in 1928.Four years later,Karsh set up his own studio in Ottawa.
In December of 1941,his memorable portrait of Winston Churchill brought Karsh into international fame.Canada’s Prime Minister Mackenzie King arranged for him to photograph Churchill following Churchill’s speech in the House of Commons.Not told,Churchill lit up a cigar, “Why was I not told of this?’’ Karsh asked him to remove the cigar and,when he didn’t,stepped forward and gently removed it with the comment,“Forgive me,Sir.”Churchill glowered (怒目而视) as the shot was taken,then permitted Karsh to take still another,;jokingly commenting,“You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed.” The Churchill portrait has since appeared in publications all over the world.
??? Karsh traveled to London in 1943 with his portable studio —— an 8-by-10 view camera and many studio lamps to photograph such notables as George Bernard Shaw and the royal family.All these portraits fully illustrate Karsh’s ability.

To tweet, or not to tweet?
A guide to the social networking/ microblogging service Tewitter
SINCE its creation in 2006, Twitter, the social networking service, has taken cyber space by storm. At first glance it might seem like Facebook, but Twitter is in a league of its own, connecting people with fast-paced updates. It has become a place for activities, celebrities, businesses and everyday people to let others know about videos, opinions, interesting news, advertisements-and, yes what they are eating for lunch.
Twitter: n. a free social networking service that connects users through fast-paced status updates.
Twitter-er: n. one who uses Twitter.
Tweet: n. short updates or messages, of 140 characters or less, wh ich are posted on your profile and sent to your followers.
Retweet (RT): n. unofficial Twitter feature that indicates a re-posting of a tweet from another user. Often uses the text RT@username (of the original source) before the post.
Follower: n. one who receives another user’s updates on his or her Twitter profile.
Direct message: n. a private message sent from one Twitter-er to another.
The phenomenon includes a host of new vocabulary terms and concepts that every self-respecting Twitter-er should know. Here’s a quick course on Twitter.
So you’ve finally been swept up by the techno-tide and gotten a Twitter account. But what to write? Who knew 140 characters could be so overwhelming?
Darren Rowse of the TwiTip blog(www.twitip.com) recommends a two- step tweeting process: figure out what your follows want, and then give it to them. Some combination of cool links, conversation- starting quotes or questions , retweets and photos works well, Rowse writes.
Keep in mind that Twitter doesn’t directly offer photo hosting. You will need to use a third-party site like TwitPic (www.twitip.com) to upload your photos. Other sites, like TwitVid (tweetdeck.com/beta) can be used to post videos.
If you th ink the Twitter Web Site too complicated, try a Twiiter client—Tweetdeck(tweetdeck. Com/beta) and the Mac-only Tweetie(www. stebits. com)are popular, and both also are available as iPhone apps(应用程序).
Even without an iphone, you can update you Twitter on the go. After adding your phone number to your Twitter account, you can text updates to 40404(check Twitter’s Web site for numbers to use outside the United States)
But no matter how you tweet, remember that people can see what you post, and Twitter might not be the best place to complain about your boss, even if you make your Twitter private, your followers may not share your sense of discretion.
Twitter is crowded with celebrith accounts. The famous , who once avoided the media in their private lives, are posting everything on Twitter for all the cyber world to see, gathering followers in the millions. Who’s leading the celebrity pack? TwitterCounter(www.twittercounter.com), a site that tracks the most popular Twitter users, lists Ashton Kuntcher and former fashion model, as the nost popular Twitter-er with, as of our publication date, 2,691,112 followers.
