Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographer David Kennerly
Please join me in welcoming David Kennerly to the Podcast. At the age of 25 David won the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism for Feature Photography for his work in Vietnam.
He has photographed 10 presidents (soon to be 11), and all 3 impeachment trials. He was with Hillary Clinton when she received news about FBI Director Comey and with Donald Trump the evening he won the election. He photographed the summit between Ronald Reagan and Mikail Gorbachov, the legendary Ali -Frazier Prize Fight, and the Miracle Mets. The range of iconic events that he has covered is hard to fathom. To quote his friend James Earl Jones, “David is like Forest Gump, except he was really there.
