Sen. Joe Lieberman was one of the good people in politics. He died today at 82. I covered his 2000 VP debate with Dick Cheney in Danville, KY. Unlike these days it stayed on the high road. Mr. Lieberman established the tone early by pledging to remain positive throughout the debate. He said his 85-year-old mother, Marcia, had told him yesterday, ‘’ ‘Sweetheart’ — as she is prone to call me — ‘remember, be positive and know that I will love you no matter what your opponent says about you.’ ‘’
Mr. Cheney quickly joined Mr. Lieberman’s pledge, telling his opponent, ‘’I promise not to bring up your singing.’’ Lieberman replied, “I promise not to sing.” In the debate they stuck to the issues, avoided personal attacks, and the people who watched were the winners. @cntrforcreativephoto @jsmccainiv @mikebarnicle @improvambassador @whipplc @petesouza @robertcrobbins @bobmshrum @canonusa...
Samy Kamienowic 1941-2024. It’s with great sadness that I share the news that Samy of @samys_camera has passed away. Samy was one of my favorite people, and it’s hard to believe he is no longer with us. Samy was a Los Angeles institution, and there’s not one of us in the business that didn’t interact with him over the years. He loved photographers and they loved him. All the Kennerlys send condolences to Hedy and the rest of his family. What a loss. (I made this of Samy in 2012). @cntrforcreativephoto @johnrodphotography @utnicky @improvambassador @kathrynbrolin @elizabethavedon @jess_chappe @raulroa @craigorobbins @ballardpix @raulroa @canonusa #canonusa @petesouza @latimes @reneecbyer @peterfettermangallery @gilgarcetti @westernave @wexworld @jeffdunas @genaro4707 @arthurgracephoto @billpierce9167 @henrydiltz...

It`s #worldstorytellingday Who knew? @connie_grazia did, and reminded me of this little film she made with her fabulous crew at @redthreadnyc production company thanks to the support of @bankofamerica The four-minute project was for the announcement of my archive being acquired in 2019 by the @cntrforcreativephoto at @uarizona, thanks to @uarizonapres Dr. Robert C. Robbins and @beckysenfccp The terrific narration was provided by U of AZ alum @savannahguthrie and the music composed and played by @nickkennerly If it wasn`t for @anseladams none of this would have happened. At the behest of then university Pres John Paul Schaefer Ansel placed his archive at the U of A and they built a building to house it. Scores of other collections are there now including Edward Weston, W. Eugene Smith, Avedon, Lola Alvarez Bravo, and Wynn Bullock among them. Next year the CCP celebrates its 50th anniv, and I`m honored to be included in their vast collection. @tjtubutis @craigorobbins @improvambassador @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @jpjonesiii @travon @martindesmondroe @petesouza @dalia.gutierrez10 @xposurexpf @elizabethavedon @ericmeola1 @andykatzphotography @sjn009 @loeildelaphotographie @schnitzerfoundation @kerry.tymchuk2 @mikebarnicle @peterfettermangallery @wapokp @chao_time @helenhunt @jeffreynordling @jeffdunas @allie.plepler...
Byron Janis, the great American classical pianist, passed away at 95. At 15 in 1944 he made his orchestral debut with conductor Arturo Toscanini’s NBC Symphony Orchestra. (Signed photo of Toscanini at left, his wife @mariacooperjanis and Janis at right). After his debut he became Vladimir Horowitz’s first student. I took this of the maestro in his New York apartment in 1969. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @whipplc @alanmsiegel @petesouza #byronjanis...

Head of Apollo from the early 1900s by Emile-Antoine Bourdelle, an assistant to Rodin. The sculpture marked the stylistic rupture between Rodin and his pupil, and Bourdelle then ventured out on his own. @cntrforcreativephoto @artinstitutechi @improvambassador...

Hottest ticket in town 53 yrs ago today. Ringside at the Joe Frazier vs Muhammad Ali “Fight of the Century” at @thegarden — I got a couple of good shots, Ali not so lucky, he lost after being decked in the 15th round.

Here’s my view of the emotional moment when First Lady Jill Biden put her hands over her heart at the end of her remarks and looked at the @uspostalservice stamp that was unveiled yesterday of former First Lady Betty Ford yesterday in the East Room of the White House. Dr. Biden said, “Mrs. Ford’s extraordinary story is a lesson in the beautiful and sometimes cruel unpredictability of life, and our capacity for redemption. Her journey reminds us that we are not defined by our worst moments, but rather by our ability to turn life’s inevitable pain and struggle into purpose and salvation.” Mrs. Ford was one of the best people I have known, and I was glad to be there to take this Betty Ford Forever pic of two great First Ladies. Three members of the Ford family attended, @sfbpanda Jack Ford and Steve Ford along with their children and grand kids. (Stamp image detail from the official portrait of Mrs. Ford by Felix De Cossio, 1977). @potus @joebiden @geraldfordfoundation @drbiden @jackimages @improvambassador @jackimages @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @davidvaldezusa @bobmcneelyphoto @prezfotog @petesouza @shealahdcphoto @hazeldenbettyford @mikebarnicle...
