Robert F. Kennedy, IN STRIDE, with Bobby, Clyde Keller RFK Photo

This classic documentary arts photo dates from near the end of the May 1968 Oregon Primary Presidential Campaign and less than a few weeks before his death at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. I took a series of photos of Robert walkin, running and beach bathing which included Freckles and Ethel.  In this singular portrait his stride is emphasized set against the backdrop of pounding surf. I used a motorized Nikon F with an 85mm Nikkor lens; this exposure was made on Kodak Ektachrome film. The print faithfully captures the saturated, atmospheric color of the scene.
