“As a kid, I had a dream – I wanted to own my own bicycle. When I got the bicycle, I must have been the happiest boy in Liverpool, maybe in the world. I lived for that bike. Most kids left their bikes in the backyard at night. Not me. I insisted on taking mine indoors and the first night I even kept it in my bed.” -John Lennon

“This was the best picture I ever had taken,” Hemingway reportedly later told LIFE’s editors.
Photographer John Bryson was on assignment for a magazine other than LIFE — taking pictures of Ernest Hemingway’s wife, Mary, at their Ketchum, Idaho, home — when he took this photo of Papa kicking a can down the road.
What’s so notable, especially in retrospect, about the image is the strange combination of playfulness and — with the lowering clouds; the stark, frozen landscape — an almost palpable sense of something like doom. A year-and-a-half after Bryson took this photo, Hemingway committed suicide with a shotgun blast to the head. He was 61.
