Air Force One reception for President Richard M. Nixon
Shown in this vintage documentary image is a reception in progress as Richard and Pat Nixon had just arrived at the Portland International Airport in 1971. The youth shown center stage paradoxically moved away from the jet (with a seeming manor of defiance) just as the Nixons were about to greet those who had come to receive them. Using a 24mm wide angle Nikkor lens this impromptu portrait was made "on the fly" as I was making my way toward the jet plane. Behind the young figure, looming in the background is Air Force One. The composition frames both the figure, crowd and jet into a telling story or mood set against the continuing backdrop of the Vietnam War.
