I`ll be on @cnn tonight with @andersoncooper 8-9pm ET (if I don`t get preempted). Will talk about President Gerald R. Ford`s humanity, my resignation from his foundation, and why @liz.cheney won`t get the Ford medal for Public Service. (Hint: Fear of 45). Tune in!

Twelve years ago today I gave a lecture at Herat University in Afghanistan about American democracy and photography. Half the class was made up of young women, and they were excited about their future. Now, under the Taliban, girls can no longer attend college or even high school. The dark ages are back, and it’s heartbreaking.

“I’ll Take You There” singer @mavisstaples and I 10 years ago today after President Obama’s speech at the @lbjlibrary Mavis sang “We Shall Overcome” which brought everyone to their feet then held hands and sang along with her. A great moment, and she’s a great American talent who can still knock them out of the park. #history @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @amybannerupdegrove @petesouza @mikebarnicle @prezfotog @bob_ahern @billieeilish ...

Ten years ago today. With President Jimmy Carter, then an energetic 89, at The Civil Rights Summit, @lbjlibrary in Austin celebrating the 50th Anniversary of President Johnson’s signing of the Civil Rights Act. At 99, Carter is both the oldest living former U.S. president and the longest-lived president in U.S. history. Photo by fellow former chief White House photographer Eric Draper @prezfotog Even though #jimmycarter defeated President Ford in the 1976 election they ended up as friends after Carter left office. @carterlibrary39 @geraldfordfoundation @cntrforcreativephoto @amybannerupdegrove #lbjlibrary @improvambassador #austin @callieshell @bobmcneelyphoto @petesouza @mikebarnicle @sfbpanda ...

My favorite #eclipse2024 pic, made me and the trees smile! Amazing what a little flare can do to make or ruin a pic.

Today’s partial eclipse from my front porch in Los Angeles. About a 50% bite, kind of like the IRS! Taken with @canonusa R5 w/100-500 + 1.4 extender to make it 700mm for this shot. ISO 100 1/8000th at f/57, still overexposed! @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador

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. Sen. 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.’ ‘’

Cheney quickly joined 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 ...
