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.

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...

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s immediate family at his funeral yesterday at @wncathedral His wife Lynne Cheney, daughter @liz__cheney and husband Phil Perry, daughter Mary Cheney and wife Heather Poe. The funeral was a bipartisan affair reflecting an earlier period of Washington politics. @cntrforcreativephoto @sfbpanda @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @kahern3 @whipplc @jamiegangelcnn @jonkarl @maddowmaddow @georgewbush @joebiden
Former Congresswoman @liz__cheney honors her dad former Vice President Dick Cheney at his funeral service yesterday at the @wncathedral - She said that beyond his public service, his legacy was defined by his love for family. As a friend of the Cheneys for over 50 years I can vouch for that. They asked me to be an honorary pallbearer and I did that with love, but I also took photos afterwards, my final show of respect. Love and sympathy to Lynne, Liz, Mary and the grandkids. @sfbpanda @kahern3 @kohearn @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @georgewbush @joebiden @jamiegangelcnn @whipplc @jonkarl
Three out of five former vice presidents who attended former VP Dick Cheney’s funeral services at @wncathedral yesterday, @kamalaharris @mikepence and @algore - The other two not pictured are Dan Quayle and @joebiden who also happens to be a former president. The current VP and president weren’t invited. I was there to honor my friend Cheney with whom I served in the Ford Administration, and at the request of the family was an honorary pallbearer. After fulfilling that duty I took photos, of course, of his farewell. @liz__cheney @georgewbush @kahern3 @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @sfbpanda @jonkarl @jamiegangelcnn @wapokp @jmartsgram @mikebarnicle
47 years ago today there were mass murders and suicides in a remote Guyanese jungle settlement called Jonestown named cult leader Jim Jones. This is my @time cover of the cyanide-laced purple brew that led to the expression "Drinking the Kool-Aid." You all know what it means, we metaphorically see it happening everyday.
On November 18, 1978, Over 918 people died at the settlement, at the nearby airstrip in Port Kaituma, and at a Temple in Georgetown, Guyana`s capital city. All but two expired from cyanide poisoning. I photographed cult leader Jim Jones`s body who appeared to have died from a gunshot to the head. He was the inspiration for this nightmare. The massacre in Jonestown resulted in the largest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act until September 11, 2001. Over three hundred children were murdered there. It was the worst thing I have ever witnessed. #cult @cntrforcreativephoto @mikebarnicle @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @utnicky @petesouza @time
