Wonderful!

This book was amazing. I recieved it quickly and am very happy with the product.

David Hume-Kennerly is one of the finest photojournalists of -

--our times. This book shows what he has seen all over the world in his "short" life. He is most famous for being Gerald Ford's photographer during the aftermath of the Nixon insanity. When his Whitehouse pass was revoked after the lost election, he wasn't even 30 -- YET had a body of work that was the envy of many of his fellow Shooters, me included. I am honored that he is aware that I exist. Follow this man for the rest of your life and you will be exposed to all the wonders of this world. He is not just a photographer; he is a driven "oracle" of the 20th century who must make images or die - much like a shark who must keep swimming or drown.

great reading about talent, guts and brains

Having known David Kennerly since he was 24 on on his way to Viet Nam. I threw a party for him while passing through Chicago on his birthday.I bought many copies for gifts as I thought that highly of the book and especially for anyone interested in photography. I strongly recommend reading this for a statement in courage and tremedous enthusiasm and talent for his work. His Jonestown story, as one of the first on the scene, is breathtaking.Stan Golomb
