It's a forty-five year old negative, that has survived five moves, and less than adequate, care and storage. Some of you oldtimers out there, will recognize the central figure. Left to Right, Senator Hubert Humphrey, J.F.K., and Walter Reuther, then President of the United Auto Workers., who survived an assassination attempt, some time later.Lighting was not the best, and high speed film of that era, accentuated the problem of very uneven lighting.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.
Yes, it is indeed very good quality considering the age.

Nice pic Doug,
What's scary is that I remember all of them.

Well, this is great. How did you happen to get this picture? What was the event where this was taken? Inquiring minds want to know.

Please forgive me: I want to thank everyone who views and comments my images, I try but it is hard to write individual thank you at times. Please know you are appreciated!
A very good b/w photo again. I remember them very well, we were well informed about JFK and the tragical murder. "JFK" is also one of the most interesting movies I´ve seen.

Look at the directness! Confident and alert he pierces the camera with his gaze. You've got a real treasure here.

"All those.. moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
Yup..remember all of them. Very good take of JFK-what charisma he had! Like the old black & white photos. How did you get to take this picture? Nice close up shot. Any more oldie pics? Nice you have this piece of history :)

In looking for your newer sunset pictures I saw this one. Wow you were that close to them. JFK is a given but as a Minnesotan and a proud member of the DFL (Democratic Farmer Labor) Party, Hubert Humphrey was my hero. If it weren’t for the Vietnam War with Lyndon Johnson’s coat tails weighing him down and a few votes in a key state he would have been President instead of Richard Nixon and we all know how that story played out. Thanks for sharing that bit of history.
