Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 23, 2006, Winnipeg, Manitoba A2 Winnipeg free press wednesday August 23, 2006 took famous picture of Paul Henderson by Shinjo Gombus t Oronto ? photographer Frank Lennon a career at the Toronto Star spanned nearly a half Century but he will always be remembered for one shot that is etched into the visual cortex of every in it hockey hero Paul Henderson leaps joyously into the arms of teammate Yvon Cournoyer after scoring the winning goal in game 8 of the 1972 Summit series Between Canada and the soviet Union. Lennon took photographs of great canadians and great Canad an moments ? including iconic images of political firebrand Tommy Douglas and country Star stomping Tom Connors. He also took one of the most beloved Pic Tures of Elizabeth Taylor. But the one Frame that defined his work was the Henderson goal. Lennon died in Hospital yester Day at the age of 79. One critic would later say that Lennon a most famous photo was etched into the visual cortex of every the picture earned Lennon a National newspaper award the Canadian press picture of the year and even sports picture of the Century by one Magazine. It was also Good to him financially because although the Star gave him a Bonus for shooting it the syndication depart ment inadvertently allowed him to copyright the picture. Legend has it that Darkroom staff were so overwhelmed with readers requests for prints at $5 each that the syndication department gave out Lennon a number in effect saying you handle it the picture has since appeared in countless books hockey cards posters a Royal Canadian mint Coin and a postage stamp. To get it Lennon relied on his legendary hard work exquisite timing and anticipation. He was perched High above the ice at Moscow a Luz Oniki Arena in the dying moments of the Pivotal game 8 when he decided to run Down for a better Angle. Guessing where the winning goal would be scored he focused his camera on the soviet net. Henderson did the rest. Everybody around him jumped up and Lennon would later say to me that he was amazed he had the presence of mind to keep shooting Henderson recalled later. Every thing within him wanted to jump up and Lennon took All kinds of photos for the Star from crime to human interest and politics ? but his passion remained sports photography especially hockey and football. I a so proud and Happy that he got the recognition for the photo but it unfortunately covered up the superlative volume of work he did Over his whole career As a photojournalist said Brad Henderson former photo editor for the Star. Those who knew and admired him said Lennon had a passion for the Job that involved an enormous amount of hard work. Another former Star photo editor Fred Ross said Lennon represented an earlier generation of photographers who were trained with the big format cameras that produced Only one picture every six seconds. Getting the picture was difficult. By contrast today a photographers ? using digital cameras that capture up to eight frames per second ? Don to depend As heavily on the timing that Lennon and his generation relied on. Skill involving timing and anticipation were extremely important to get the Phot and Lennon was the master of both Ross said. After 47 years at the Star Lennon retired in 1990. He is survived by his wife of 57 years Helen children Judith Kevin Darcy Martha Anita Daria and Andrea his brother Bill Sisters Janet and Margaret and 13 grandchildren. ?
