Through The Lens of a Photojournalist is a collection of 120 photographs selected from the thousands John Jochimsen shot on pre-digital technology for Fleet Street, the government and commercial clients in the UK and abroad. It captures some of the social, political and scientific advances that denned the second half of the 20th century. The most remarkable picture in John Jochimsen's distinguished career as a photojournalist is the one conspicuous by its absence. It was in February 1952 that John, then just 22, found himself standing with two other photographers outside the Royal Sagana Lodge in Kenya, minutes after Princess Elizabeth received news of her father King George VI's death. But respecting her wishes not to take pictures of her first moments as Queen, they laid their cameras in the dust and watched her drive away.
