A pair of great ones. Nick Ut and Kim Phuc at Eddie Adams Workshop in 2012 during a ceremony honoring photographers who were killed in action in Vietnam. The World Press Photo organization has "suspended" Nick’s credit for his famous photo "Napalm Girl" of Kim running down the road. A vast majority of us have called BS on their shameful edict.

Peter Arnett died today at 91. What a wonderful friend and journo. This pic of me, Arnett, and Nick Ut in 2013 shows three happy guys who were pals and colleagues. We were also the last three Pulitzer winners in Journalism from the Vietnam War. Now there are two. Peter and I and Nick were fortunately able to spend a lot of time together over the last few years, and I treasure those memories. Love and condolences to Peter’s family, such a loss for them and all who knew him. So glad my three sons Byron Kennerly Nick Kennerly and James Kennerly got to know him. He is history gone, but his work will inform us forever. Germaine Swanson Dick Swanson Dave Burnett Naja Lockwood Jon Meacham Eliane Laffont Pete Souza

The @viifoundation and Gary Knight`s attempt to defame Nick Ut shown here with "Napalm Girl" Kim Phuc at the @eddieadamsworkshop, with his pathetic film "The Stringer" took a hit in this @nytimes review of their "rotten" slanted documentary.
"The documentary, with its moody score and medley of talking heads, strives to create an atmosphere of injustice over the crediting dispute. Though some may be compelled to believe Nghe took the photograph, given the egregiously bad hands given to both freelancers and people in the global south, there’s also something rotten about a documentary that tries (and fails) to spin such a typical drama into an epic of villainy and regret. Ultimately, the evidence is still fuzzy, reminding us that the truth-seekers may have cut corners of their own." @utnicky @jhornstein1 @yunghi.kim @coise43 @najalockwood @elianelaffont @petesouza @jameskencolton @axiosmike @davidtenenbaum @alyssaada @markedwardharrisphoto @bobmcneelyphoto
Nixon pardons turkey. Ungrateful bird whacks him. My pic ran everywhere. White House angry. Never called me an enemy of the people...
