The Oregon Coast image dates from the May 1968 Oregon Primary Presidential Campaign. Exposures were made on Kodak Ektachrome film. The original transparencies and negatives have been kept in dark storage and are in pristine condition for their vintage. The print faithfully captures the original vibrancy and color of the original Ektachrome transparency.

The photograph was taken on the Oregon Coast with a Mototized Nikon F with an 85mm Nikkor lens, a personal favorite for pictorial photography. The moderate telephoto perspective captures Robert with his beloved dog, Freckles shown together as they made their way north along the coastline.

Robert was a living embodiment of his slain brother. He represents the resurrection of the promise that he and his brother embodied while in the White House. That restoration, after Dallas, took many forms: Civil Rights at home, Human Rights abroad and the end of Apartheid for all people. His message and charisma and his policies were understood as ending all of the cruel and artificial divisions allowing him to bring a process of healing between people.

RFK "NEW IMAGES"

Since February 2010, a new Subject Category was created for my personal photographs of Bobby Kennedy. Entitled, "RFK NEW PRINTS" these 1966-1968 photographs represent an exhaustive revisitation to my Kennedy Film Archive consisting of hundreds of Black and White and Color images. All prints are either Color or Black and White (Quad Tone) Archival Giclee Prints of Museum Grade Quality. These are fade proof prints which can withstand continuous display for nearly 200 years when protected by UV Glass or Acyrilic. Please check back frequently for a continuation of new discoveries and listings in this section. This revisitation is proving to be a rewarding personal exploration about a most special person from a unique era, never to be duplicated in the annals of history.
