“I’ll Take You There” singer @mavisstaples and I 10 years ago today after President Obama’s speech at the @lbjlibrary Mavis sang “We Shall Overcome” which brought everyone to their feet then held hands and sang along with her. A great moment, and she’s a great American talent who can still knock them out of the park. #history @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @amybannerupdegrove @petesouza @mikebarnicle @prezfotog @bob_ahern @billieeilish
Ten years ago today. With President Jimmy Carter, then an energetic 89, at The Civil Rights Summit, @lbjlibrary in Austin celebrating the 50th Anniversary of President Johnson’s signing of the Civil Rights Act. At 99, Carter is both the oldest living former U.S. president and the longest-lived president in U.S. history. Photo by fellow former chief White House photographer Eric Draper @prezfotog Even though #jimmycarter defeated President Ford in the 1976 election they ended up as friends after Carter left office. @carterlibrary39 @geraldfordfoundation @cntrforcreativephoto @amybannerupdegrove #lbjlibrary @improvambassador #austin @callieshell @bobmcneelyphoto @petesouza @mikebarnicle @sfbpanda
My favorite #eclipse2024 pic, made me and the trees smile! Amazing what a little flare can do to make or ruin a pic. This one made it, and the partial eclipse came through with no untoward manipulation… @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @utnicky @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @petesouza @mikebarnicle @johnrodphotography @wapokp @bob_ahern @luciennegigante1 @helenhunt @chao_time @jeffreynordling @norahodonnell @stephenwilkes @yamashitaphoto @allie.plepler @
Today’s partial eclipse from my front porch in Los Angeles. About a 50% bite, kind of like the IRS! Taken with @canonusa R5 w/100-500 + 1.4 extender to make it 700mm for this shot. ISO 100 1/8000th at f/57, still overexposed! @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador

49 years ago with First Lady Betty Ford who was playing the role of King Neptune as we crossed the equator aboard Air Force One on the way to Indonesia. Missing her and President Ford.

Time to brighten things up! Satsuki azaleas in a milk bottle on sunny desk. Inspired by the flower photos of @johnrodphotography and the still life paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @j_macpost @craigorobbins @wapokp #vangogh
Sen. Joe Lieberman was one of the good people in politics. He died today at 82. I covered his 2000 VP debate with Dick Cheney in Danville, KY. Unlike these days it stayed on the high road. Sen. Lieberman established the tone early by pledging to remain positive throughout the debate. He said his 85-year-old mother, Marcia, had told him yesterday, ‘’ ‘Sweetheart’ — as she is prone to call me — ‘remember, be positive and know that I will love you no matter what your opponent says about you.’ ‘’
Cheney quickly joined Lieberman’s pledge, telling his opponent, ‘’I promise not to bring up your singing.’’ Lieberman replied, “I promise not to sing.” In the debate they stuck to the issues, avoided personal attacks, and the people who watched were the winners. @cntrforcreativephoto @jsmccainiv @mikebarnicle @improvambassador @whipplc @petesouza @robertcrobbins @bobmshrum @canonusa
Samy Kamienowic 1941-2024. It’s with great sadness that I share the news that Samy of @samys_camera has passed away. Samy was one of my favorite people, and it’s hard to believe he is no longer with us. Samy was a Los Angeles institution, and there’s not one of us in the business that didn’t interact with him over the years. He loved photographers and they loved him. All the Kennerlys send condolences to Hedy and the rest of his family. What a loss. (I made this of Samy in 2012). @cntrforcreativephoto @johnrodphotography @utnicky @improvambassador @kathrynbrolin @elizabethavedon @jess_chappe @raulroa @craigorobbins @ballardpix @raulroa @canonusa #canonusa @petesouza @latimes @reneecbyer @peterfettermangallery @gilgarcetti @westernave @wexworld @jeffdunas @genaro4707 @arthurgracephoto @billpierce9167 @henrydiltz

It`s #worldstorytellingday Who knew? @connie_grazia did, and reminded me of this little film she made with her fabulous crew at @redthreadnyc production company thanks to the support of @bankofamerica The four-minute project was for the announcement of my archive being acquired in 2019 by the @cntrforcreativephoto at @uarizona, thanks to @uarizonapres Dr. Robert C. Robbins and @beckysenfccp The terrific narration was provided by U of AZ alum @savannahguthrie and the music composed and played by @nickkennerly If it wasn`t for @anseladams none of this would have happened. At the behest of then university Pres John Paul Schaefer Ansel placed his archive at the U of A and they built a building to house it. Scores of other collections are there now including Edward Weston, W. Eugene Smith, Avedon, Lola Alvarez Bravo, and Wynn Bullock among them. Next year the CCP celebrates its 50th anniv, and I`m honored to be included in their vast collection. @tjtubutis @craigorobbins @improvambassador @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @jpjonesiii @travon @martindesmondroe @petesouza @dalia.gutierrez10 @xposurexpf @elizabethavedon @ericmeola1 @andykatzphotography @sjn009 @loeildelaphotographie @schnitzerfoundation @kerry.tymchuk2 @mikebarnicle @peterfettermangallery @wapokp @chao_time @helenhunt @jeffreynordling @jeffdunas @allie.plepler
Byron Janis, the great American classical pianist, passed away at 95. At 15 in 1944 he made his orchestral debut with conductor Arturo Toscanini’s NBC Symphony Orchestra. (Signed photo of Toscanini at left, his wife @mariacooperjanis and Janis at right). After his debut he became Vladimir Horowitz’s first student. I took this of the maestro in his New York apartment in 1969. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @whipplc @alanmsiegel @petesouza #byronjanis
