Item Description
David Hume Kennerly has been a photographer on the front lines of history for fifty years. At 25 he was one of the youngest winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism. David Hume Kennerly’s 1972 award for Feature Photography included images of the Ali v. Frazier World Heavyweight Championship at Madison Square Garden, the Vietnam and Cambodia wars, and refugees escaping from East Pakistan into India. Two years later Kennerly was appointed President Gerald R. Ford's Chief White House Photographer.
Kennerly’s photos have appeared on more than 50 major magazine covers, and he has covered stories in dozens of countries. American Photo Magazine named him “One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography”, and Washingtonian Magazine called Kennerly one of the 50 most important journalists in Washington, DC.
In 2014, Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio established the David Hume Kennerly endowed scholarship for students of the visual arts. We thank David for his generous donations to Pacifica Arts, and hope these photos are a welcome addition to any photographers collection. His prints typically sell for between $1250 to $1500. Each photo is matted and framed, with a window on the back exposing the authenticity stamp and autograph of Mr. Kennerly.
Item Special Note
This may be one of the most famous shots from the inauguration of President Barrack Obama, an chance instant captured in time forever. The shot represents the complicated relationships within the country- its politics and its aspirations for peaceful transition, personal connection and reconciliation.
