David Burnett does it again, with this epic Eiffel Tower Olympic image on 4x5 film

David Burnett's image of the Eiffel Tower at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

I must put my hand up in the air and say I had never heard of David Burnett until the 2012 London Olympics, when I saw his amazing work with this Graflex Pacemaker 4x5 Speed Graphic film camera. And for those that don't know what that is, it's a massive sheet film camera that was used by old press photographers in the 1940s.

But this camera has been David's signature piece since the mid-2000s, and he has proceeded to produce outstanding work with it for the International Olympic Committee for no fewer than four Olympic Games!
