38 years ago today, Oct. 12, 1986, U.S. President Ronald Reagan and USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev met in Reykjavik for their 2nd summit. Although it ended with no deal and some hard feelings, it also lead to a breakthrough that eventually facilitated the INF Treaty, the first agreement requiring the US and the USSR to reduce, rather than merely limit, their arsenals of nuclear weapons. It also produced one of my best
@time cover photographs. Back then we couldn’t upload photos from a computer, (we didn’t have the technology to do that), but thanks to the foresight of Dirck Halstead and Arnold Drapkin they tied up a lab to process the color film and the only scanner in Iceland capable of converting transparencies into photos that could be transmitted. I took the story-telling picture on that Sunday night, and it was beamed to New York.
That photo appeared on the cover of Time the next day and was a journalistic coup in the magazine world. All it took was couple of old wire guys to get the picture out to the world! @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @petesouza @bobmcneelyphoto @joangramatte @joannapinneo @billpierce9167 @mikebarnicle
Ethel Kennedy has died at 96. She was an extraordinary person whom I was privileged to know. I took this in 1968 during RFK’s campaign.

My dear friend Beth Rickman left us 10 years ago today. She was 64, a Renaissance woman, and a loving person to all who ever met her. Beth’s mission in life was to help others, and the world is filled with those that she did. She and her husband Tom Rickman are greatly missed. Love on this day of remembrance to Casey Donohue and the rest of the family. @rebeccakennerly @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @melharris56 @therealcarolhuston @mannweil
The @todayshow used my portrait of Jimmy Carter this morning (taken in 2011) to celebrate his 100th birthday. His grandson says he’s hanging in there so he can vote for Kamala.

A new exhibition “Entertainment Nation” opened today at the @smithsonian @amhistorymuseum Two of the featured Items are the iconic eyeglasses and typewriter used by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Neil Simon. My photo of him that I took for a @time cover in 1986 is in the display. Simon used this typewriter to compose more than 30 of his famous plays including his first production, “Come Blow Your Horn” (1961) and the Tony award winning show, “The Odd Couple ‘’ (1965). He drew on his own experiences, family dynamics and adversities to create a new style of comedy that endures today. Simon won three Tony Awards and a Golden Globe. He died in 2018 at 91. @pulitzerprizes @cntrforcreativephoto #neilsimon @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @jalexander1959 @petesouza @mikebarnicle @bobmcneelyphoto @markpetersonpixs
Nabbed in China. 52 years ago this week I was in the People‘s Republic of China on assignment for UPI. I was intercepted by Chinese security as I photographed Japanese PM Tanaka leaving the Ming Tombs during his historic 1972 trip. I displayed my typical wtf attitude, but all ended well. Going to China at that time was an adventure and a career highlight. The Nixon trip had been a few months earlier, but at this moment I was one of a handful of Americans in the country.

8th anniversary of this picture today. First Lady @michelleobama hugs former Pres. George W. Bush at opening of the @nmaahc Sept. 24, 2016 I took this on assignment for @bankofamerica one of the major sponsors of the museum. This is a moment to remember. My former Newsweek colleague @kathy.devaney who was among scores of people commenting on the photo said, “I like this America!” I agree. @canonusa @thebushcenter @barackobama @kamalaharris @douglasemhoff @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @utnicky @petesouza @taylorswift @wapokp @pulitzerprizes @prezfotog @bobmshrum

The @nytimes ran this story from their archives about the 2nd assassination attempt against President Ford 49 years ago today. The story demonstrated that 1) President Ford was calm in the face of danger and, 2) His White House photographer (me) displayed a dark sense of humor that unfortunately still persists! A side note, the bullet she fired went between me and Secret Service agent Lee Parker. I found this out later when the @secretservice showed me a diagram of the incident and the path of the bullet. I told President Ford, “I avoided getting shot in Vietnam, but hanging out with you is more dangerous!” To his credit he thought that was funny. @sfbpanda @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @mikebarnicle @utnicky @johnrodphotography @petesouza @wapokp @helenhunt @jeffreynordling @chao_time @pulitzerprizes @anseladams @joannapinneo @jmartnyt @liz.cheney @blacrow @jackimages @schultzinit
My visa from the first trip I made to the People’s Republic of China 52 years ago today. It remains one of the most excellent adventures from a career that is still unfolding. Crossing the border from the New Territories of Hong Kong into Mainland China was stepping back into the forties. I was lucky to have a look at “Old China” before it became the vibrant and modern place it is today. I was one of a handful of Americans there at the time. @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @mia.ma.543 @cntrforcreativephoto @wapokp #prc @mikebarnicle @wayneqian_photo @wexworld @davidbutow @markpetersonpixs @pulitzerprizes @joannapinneo @johnrodphotography @utnicky @robin.moyer @fcchkfcc
