		Korda: For a period of twelve years Alberto Diaz Gutierrez, who adopted the surname "Korda" early in his career after the Hungarian filmmakers Zoltan and Alexander Korda, stood with his camera at the very center of Cuba's political crossroads.
		La Nina de la Muneca de Palo [1958] depicts the dirt-smudged face of a toddler holding a wood block with a rag that serves as her "doll." When he looked at the crowds gathering to support the arrival of Castro, El Quijote de la Farola (The Don Quixote of the Lamppost) [1959] resulted.
		Korda continued to serve as Castro's photographer until 1968, though their personal friendship survived until his death in Paris a month after he visited North Dakota.

	Seeing with the heart
		Although Korda is best known for the Che picture, titled "Guerrillero Heroico" (the Heroic Guerrilla), he has left a rich legacy of images of the key moments of the Cuban revolution as it unfolded from the 1960s under the leadership of Fidel Castro.
		Korda is said to have attributed the turning point in his life to the picture he took of a poverty-struck child in rural Cuba just after the revolution.
		Korda epitomised that transition in Cuban photography — from one that depicted Cuba as a "paradise island" to one undergoing social churning.

		Naturally charming and ebullient, the diminutive and wiry Alberto soon established himself as a successful fashion photographer, changing his surname from Díaz Gutiérrez to that of the British film-maker Alexander Korda because it sounded like "Kodak" to his Cuban ear.
		It was while on an assignment for Revolución in 1960 that Korda took the famous photo of Che, at a protest rally after a Belgian freighter carrying arms to Cuba was blown up by counter-revolutionaries while being unloaded in Havana harbour, killing more than 100 dock workers.
		The look in Che's eyes startled Korda so much that he instinctively lurched backwards, and immediately pressed the button: "There appears to be a mystery in those eyes, but in reality it is just blind rage at the deaths of the day before, and the grief for their families."
