Jean Guichard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Guichard is a French photographer known for his images of lighthouses. One series of seven pictures, titled "La Jument", is world-famous; it depicts the French lighthouse "La Jument" in a tempest; a wave is about to engulf the lighthouse as its keeper, Théodore Malgorne. Malgorne, thinking Guichard's was the rescue helicopter, looks out the open door. He realized the mistake and returned inside in time.
