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.

CEO of the @trlibrary @edwardokeefe @bankofamerica Chairman Brian Moynihan, and @secretaryburgum at the @nationalportraitgallery last night as Ed announces BofA’s sponsorship of my photography exhibit, "In the Room: Sixty Years on the Frontlines of History" that will open at the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library this fall, accompanied by my book of the same name by @rizzolibooks
Here`s a bit of the bank`s press release:
Bank of America is supporting the development of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library that is opening this 4th of July on the 250th Anniversary of the USA and its inaugural exhibitions, including Roosevelt’s White House and a featured photography exhibit by Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer David Hume Kennerly. As a former chief White House photographer who has documented thirteen consecutive U.S. presidents, Kennerly’s work transcends any single administration. The Kennerly exhibition is opening this October 2, and offers an intimate look at the presidency and the people behind it over the last sixty years, as well as the cultural moments that shaped the nation. The Roosevelt Presidential Library being built in Medora, N.D., is a project made possible through the dedicated support of state leadership, including Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum in his capacity as Governor of North Dakota. The bank is also facilitating the restoration of over a hundred presidential portraits in the Portrait Gallery’s collection, including this one of President Roosevelt.
In my opinion the TR Library is fantastic and will be ready to go this July 4th. It will be a must-see stop for anyone who loves American history, and will also become a bucketlist item for decades to come. Also thanks to @senatorkevincramer @senjohnhoeven and @repjuliefedorchak for their support. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @_katiemeili @delta_dawn @petesouza @ohananui_tropicaltreats
This stunning sculpture caught my eye tonight at the @nationalportraitgallery On Oct16, 1968, during the medal ceremony for the men’s 200-meter race at the Mexico City Olympic Games, Tommie Smith, the American winner of the event, raised his black-gloved fist as a call for unity and an act of protest for human rights. Echoed by the bronze medalist John Carlos, the gesture was seen around the world. Smith’s raised fist became the inspiration and catalyst for a multitude of social causes, and more personally, irrevocably changed the course of his own life.
In 2013, Glenn Kaino created Bridge, a large-scale sculpture, as part of an ongoing collaboration with Smith. It serves as a memorial to one person’s action and the legacy of that action through time. The work comprises 200 gold-painted life casts of Smith’s outstretched arm, suspended from the ceiling in a sinuous line. Nearly 100 feet long, it reaches both backward and forward. It evokes the power of gestures and ideas through history, as a bridge through time and space. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @_katiemeili #1984olympics @petesouza
My “3rd Eye Photojournalism Group,” 14 years ago today in Kabul. I taught a photo workshop even though gunfire from heavy fighting down the street punctuated almost every picture I showed. Despite that we had a great dialogue, and nobody got hurt. Maybe I should start an “Extreme Teaching” experience—it would be great on Discovery Channel! Fifteen Taliban terrorists were killed in the attack, and we were in the line of fire for almost six hours. Other than that how did you like the workshop, folks? @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @_katiemeili @utnicky @stephenwilkes @jamesnachtwey @swansongermaine @mikebarnicle @axiosmike @canonusa
Ethel Kennedy was born 98 years ago today. She was one of the most impressive people I ever met. I took this photo in Washington, DC in 1970 when she was a mere 42! @kerrykennedyrfk @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @petesouza @mikebarnicle @anseladams @yousuf_karsh_official @utnicky #ethelkennedy

Former First Lady Betty Ford was born 108 years ago today, April 8, 1918. I took this of the former Martha Graham dancer in the Queen`s Bedroom in the White House Residence in 1976. Mrs. Ford was one of the bravest, smartest, and funniest people I`ve ever known. She would have had some wonderfully unvarnished and honest opinions about the people who presently occupy that place. @sfbpanda @fordlibrarymuseum @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @_katiemeili @davidburnettfoto @frankursomarso @mikebarnicle @mikeluckovich @axiosmike #bettyford @yousuf_karsh_official @anseladams
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base flew past our place a few minutes ago! Quite a sight, had to make it on the #iphone, no time to grab my trusty @canonusa gear. It is carrying 25 Starlink satellites. That speck of light below the plume might have been an airplane. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @_katiemeili @utnicky @raulroa @johnrodphotography @officialjld @vandenberg_sfb
