On May 12, 1975, two weeks after the evacuation of Vietnam, President Gerald R. Ford faced another international crisis: an American cargo ship, the SS Mayaguez, was captured by Khmer Rouge forces off the coast of Cambodia near Kom Pong Som. The drama played out over four days in Cambodia, and inside the White House where life and death decisions were made to end the crisis. I was in the room documenting what happened. My son Byron Hume Kennerly recently interviewed me on video about the incident.

No photoshop trickery here, just a chill gull and a lighthouse as a backdrop. Made today with @canonusa #eosr5 and the 100-500mm lens at 300. The #hecetaheadlighthouse is at least 1/2 mile away, shot it at ISO 500, f/36 for depth at a 200th of a second. #canonusa #oregoncoast @totallyeffnlost @cntrforcreativephoto #seagull #gull
