Robert F. Kennedy Photo Collection
"Bumble Bee Foods Greeting"
Astoria, Oregon, May 1968
In this documentary portrait, RFK is shown greeting a fisheries worker at the Bumble Bee Foods facility in Astoria, Oregon, here shown holding a fresh catch of fish. I used a 28mm Nikkor lens to peer over Bobby's shoulder to document the exchange.
Later he was to visit a sick Russian sailor nearby at the Astoria Hospital. His concerns for a thaw in relations with Russia were made during this short visitation. Following in the footsteps of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, he renounced the unworkable dogmas that held both Russia and the U.S. in seemingly intractable positions. Robert embraced peaceful coexistence in an era of militarism and like his brother was receptive to a standing down from armed rivalry with Russia. As visionaries the Kennedys stood for ideals that could not only lead to peaceful coexistence but transcend the antagonisms generated by opposing social systems.
