Finally, the Kennerly-branded item you’ve all been waiting for—the Nixon Farewell mask! This image is dutifully reproduced from my contact sheet of Nixon boarding his chopper on the South Lawn of the White House, August 9, 1974 after resigning the presidency, the first and last to ever do so. Whether you liked him or not, he will definitely help you avoid Covid-19. #zazzle @cntrforcreativephoto

My yearly hommage to Joe Rosenthal who took this photo 76 years ago today (this image from a print made from the original negative) of U.S. Marines raising the flag above Mount Surabachi on Iwo Jima. This picture is one for the ages and an inspiration to all of we news photographers who came after him. I wrote about Joe, who died in 2006 at 95, in a WWII magazine, and gave a eulogy at his memorial service. One of my thoughts was, “This image will ring through the ages alongside the work of Mozart and Rembrandt and Hemingway. Joe captured the heart and soul of what it means to be a Marine in a picture embodying the essence of Americans. His photo is the symbol of freedom, and the man who took it, a son of immigrants, represents us all.” I loved the guy, he was a modest and wonderful man. His most prized possession was not his famous photo, but a letter from the Commandant of the Marine Corps hanging on his spare apartment wall in San Francisco naming him an honorary Marine. You were the best of the best Joe, and your photo is still the greatest. @pulitzerprizes #iwojima @cntrforcreativephoto #usmarines #usmc #americanflag #hero

First Lady Betty Ford and I taken by Eddie Adams in the Cabinet Room at the White House Jan. 19, 1977, the day before the Ford’s turned the place over to Jimmy Carter. Mrs. Ford was a truly heroic person, and positively affected the lives of countless women. @sfbpanda @cntrforcreativephoto #bettyford

Ansel Adams would have been 119 today. I took this of him behind the wheel of his caddy in Carmel in 1979 when he was a young 77! I'm so pleased that my archive has joined Ansel's at @cntrforcreativephoto Ansel was always one of my favorite photographers and people. #anseladams @anseladams

My pal Tom Rickman at his 70th birthday party eleven years ago. Tom was a brilliant screenwriter, writing among other things, Coal Miner's Daughter (Academy Award nom), Hooper, Tuesdays with Morrie, and Truman. But most of all he was a brilliant and beloved friend. He passed away Sept. 3, 2018, and is truly missed by all of us who loved him.

Love my @canonusa #eosr5 with the 100-500mm lens. Can’t make ‘em sharper than this! This Allen’s hummingbird is just a tiny thing, but bigger than life in this picture. #canonusa @cntrforcreativephoto #birds
