Not only is this moment historical, but the photo that @evanvucci took is also perfect.
The level of compositional mastery comes from over two decades of experience in the field and a sharpness that only comes from thousands and thousands of "reps."

You can actually see Evan taking that iconic image during the rally coverage below.
Observe Evan's calm demeanor. This is a result of his extensive experience and unwavering confidence. It's as if he was born to frame and compose shots, a skill that has become his second nature.
I'm sure he saw the flag up there, waited for that moment, and initiated the shutter on his Sony.
It wouldn't have looked as good if he had been standing slightly to the right like the other photographers. He was in the perfect spot, and he knew it.

And, of course, my condolences to the spectator who was killed in the crossfire.
I am in total agreement with President Biden, who said, "There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it."
Please pray for our country and the victims of this tragic assassination attempt.

New photo provided by @dougmillsnyt from New York Times showing the bullet in motion! Insane
Just found this video interview of @evanvucci sharing his passion for Brazilian jiu-jitsu. This guy is a national treasure.
Protect this man at all costs.

Was mentioned in this great writeup about Evan from @IndiaToday indiatoday.in/world/story/do…
The image converted to B&W looks good too. Great contrast.
