The Stump Speech Portraits were captured at Woodburn, Oregon during a series of classic Whistle Stops between Portland and Eugene along the Willamette Valley corridor. Using a 300mm Nikkor with an original motorized Nikon F I captured his speech, rapid fire as RFK continually changed expressions as he discussed the issues of American Foreign Policy, Vietnam and Nationalism. I shot two rolls of 35mm black and white film photographing every significant gesture and facial expression he made during this particular speech. This collection is descriptive of Kennedy's compelling emotional range as he also spoke about the imposing threat of nuclear war. Kennedy fought to end the War in Vietnam; he pushed for Civil Rights as Attorney General; his positive vision for the advancement of peace, justice, equality and responsibility is as relevant today.

Robert F. Kennedy Up Close
U.S. Presidential Campaign, May 1968 Portrait

Included in the RFK Center Collection

Intense street portrait of Robert Kennedy captured during the Oregon Primary, May 1968. This intimate portrayal came out of from the volatile May 1968 Oregon Presidential Primary Campaign as Eugene McCarthy ran against Bobby Kennedy. The pose is revealing of Bobby's soulful personality with up-close, intimate camerawork. McCarthy won the Oregon Primary and this portrait was made shortly before that election on the sidewalk outside of Portland's Benson Hotel. The camera I used for all of the Kennedy photographs was an original Motorized Nikon F with Nikkor Lenses. The portrait was taken with a 55mm "Micro" Nikkor lens, a personal favorite for available light razor sharp portrait photography. Exposures were made on Kodak TRI-X film. The original transparencies and negatives have been kept in dark storage and are in pristine condition!

Kennedy fought for Civil Rights as Attorney General; his positive vision for the advancement of peace, justice, equality and responsibility is still relevant today. In this documentary portrait, taken at Portland State College, RFK addressed the relevance of the "Spirit of Youth" mindful of the "Revolutionary Spirit" that led to the foundation of the United States. He spoke of "a temper of the will" when dealing with our adversaries. Robert argued for ending the War in Vietnam, citing that the North Vietnamese leader, Ho Chi Minh, had quoted the American Declaration of Independence as their inspiration for them to declare independence from the French. 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.

Speech Excerpt:

“What the students of Poland now fight for, what the students of Czechoslovakia appear to have won is not a victory of ideology; it is a victory of the spirit. This spirit has been heard in the defined courtrooms of Moscow, in the streets of Spain, and in the schools all over the United States. It is he spirit of youth. It's not a time of life, but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a preference for courage over timidity; of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. It is the spirit which knows the difference between force and reason. It does not accept the failures of today as the excuse for the cruelties of tomorrow. It knows the wisdom of Archimedes and that says, 'Give me a place to stand and I can move the world,' and youth is finding a place to stand. That is the spirit I want to see return to the United States of America and that is why I'm running for President of the United States.” RFK- April 17, 1968

This documentary portrait dates from the US presidential campaign during the May Oregon Primary. The speech took place on May 24, 1968 in Astoria near the Oregon Coast.

My camera was placed above and over Robert's shoulder to achieve this dramatic view. It was one of the last Whistle Stop Tours ever made in American Presidential Campaigns. During the tour through Oregon City, Harrisburg, Junction City, Corvallis, Albany and Eugene he spoke out strongly about ending the Vietnam War. 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.

Kinetic image faithfully depicts the enthusiasm of the crowd for their candidate, a splendid example of Kennedy's charisma. It was photographed during a political rally held in Eugene, Oregon. One of several campaign stops made during the May 1968 Oregon Primary. The photograph was taken with a motorized Nikon and a 55mm Micro Nikkor, a personal favorite for crowd photography. Exposures were made on Kodak Tri-X B&W film. The original transparencies and negatives have been kept in dark storage and are in pristine condition for their vintage.
