Time is running out to catch a glimpse of the Capture the Moment Exhibit at the Durham Museum. Everyone can remember where they were at when certain historical events took place, and yet sometimes we try to forget. The Durham Museum is very proud to be have the Capture the Moment exhibit here in Omaha. Not every museum has the space nor the ability to house this massive exhibit in the way that it should be. With dozens and dozens of photographs dating back to first half of the 19th century, the Durham Museum displays these photos in the perfect way.
timeless. Every generation, from older to the post-adolescents(exhibit may be too graphic for young children), will have the ability to find an image that they can relate to. Images like, Lee Harvey Oswald being shot, Regan’s Attempted Assassination, Electing America’s First Black President. The range of emotions this exhibit can feel like a roller coaster, tearing up, laughing, respect, pride, and almost every other emotion will be felt. One thing to absolutely take away from this is, every photo is timeless and to be cherished in its own way.
These photos have the ability to touch the hearts of those who see them, sad historic images to truly inspiring photos- so, be prepare to become emotional. These photos have been taken by some of the best photographers in the world. These photographers know how to capture not only an image but the emotion on film.
Cyma began her research on the photographs in 1994, four years before the first exhibit ever existed. While doing her research, she discovered that the way the photos were archived and stored in the middle of the 20th century, was severely on the disorganized side. Many of the glass negatives had been destroyed through the years, whether from moving boxes around or a few irresponsible employees. After years of research, Cyma was finally able to get her hands on 235 negatives so that she could recreate the images for display in museums all over the world.
curators from museums all over the world. One such curator from Korea, desperately wanted to have the exhibit moved from Japan to Korea so they could display these EXTRAORDINARY photographs. Unfortunately, at that time the exhibit could not be moved, so Cyma and her team created a whole new exhibit featuring 135 photos for the museum in Korea.
Now that the exhibit is in Omaha, Cyma finally has had the opportunity to see her vision of how the photos should be displayed realized. Many of the other museums all over the world do not have enough space to accommodate this massive collection of timeless images. The manner in which the Durham Museum has displayed and arranged the photos has made the Durham Museum one of Cyma’s favorites. THE PULITZER PRIZE: CAPTURING THE MOMENT EXHIBIT IS FILLED WITH EXTRAORDINARY PHOTOS THAT WORDS SIMPLY CANNOT DESCRIBE. These photos capture not only important times, and events in history, but also have the ability to tell the story of the events and moments leading up to and occurring after the image. For instance, Robert Jacksons’ photo “Jack Ruby Shoots Lee Harvey Oswald” shows us how irate the public was at the assassination of President Kennedy. However, when Mr. Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald, this was a traumatic experience in itself for Robert Jackson. He had never revisited the location in which he took the iconic picture until Cyma Rubin asked him to for the documentary. During Cyma’s interview with Robert Jackson, he found and remained in the same spot he took the photo, because that is exactly where he felt the safest considering the events that took place there several decades ago.
told us a little story on several of the photos from the exhibit. Several of the photos were very graphic, tragic, and disturbing, while at the same time other photos showed human perseverance and achievement. The photos of the Kent State Massacre and the Assassination of Asanuma show us the disturbing side of human kind. Whereas, Brian Lanker’s “Moment of Life” photo shows us that human life is so very precious.
