Robert F. Kennedy Photo
Bill Barry Bodyguard
Oregon Coast, May 24, 1968

On May 24, 1968-- Robert Kennedy visited Astoria, Oregon and points south along the Oregon Coastline. In this documentary arts photo Robert chats with his personal bodyguard, Bill Barry. They are shown atop a Ford XL convertible. Below hands reach out from the many supporters who came to see him. Robert Kennedy's vision for nuclear disarmament, world peace and for the ending of the Vietnam War were projected to audiences world wide throughout these last few weeks before his assassination.

The camera I used for all of the Kennedy photographs was an original Nikon F with Nikkor Lenses. The photograph was taken with a 28mm Nikkor, a personal favorite for fast available light photography. Exposures were made on Kodak Ektachrome film. The original transparencies and negatives from my Kennedy Collection have been kept in dark storage and are in pristine condition for their vintage.

Included in the RFK Center Photo Collection

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.

I used an advanced motorized Nikon F with a 300mm Nikkor lens, a personal favorite for pictorial or photojournalism photography. The extreme telephoto perspective lends a compression of perspective perfect for the making of a dramatic portrait. Kodak Ektachrome film was used for this expressive study.

As visionaries the Kennedys stood for ideals that could not only lead to peaceful coexistence but transcend the antagonisms generated by opposing social systems.

My documentary arts photo captures Bobby's beloved pet dog, Freckles, here shown upfront walking at a brisk pace and "leading the pack."
