This unique Whistle Stop documentary arts photo of Bobby Kennedy was captured from inside a caboose at the Albany, Oregon Train Station. This is an unusual composition with a subjective point of view. Robert is shown with his hand to his head, a pose which can also be seen in our speech portrait of him entitled, "Pathos." Here he shown in deep shadow. The evacotive (tragic) mood created by Kennedy's pose is framed and juxtaposed by the tuba (right) adding to the drama.

The photograph was taken with an 28mm wide angle Nikkor lens, a personal favorite for working at close quarters but preserving a natural perspective. Exposures were made on Kodak TRI-X film and the pristine negative was used for the making of this "full bodied" black and white photographic print.

"RFK AT SUNNYSIDE"

Spirited Away... Children swarmed over RFK as he sat upon his convertible parade car. This kinetic documentary photo was taken outside the Sunnyside Grade School, Portland during the May 1968 Oregon Primary.  An endearing image of enthusiasm and hope... and a high point in the Oregon Primary. Several weeks earlier RFK (April 26, 1968) spoke in Indianapolis... "Education, jobs, community participation, an end to hunger, these are the elements of a healthy citizenry. And they must be achieved."

"RFK BEACH RUN" 

This historic documentary arts image of RFK and Freckles, entitled,  "Beach Run" dates from the May 1968 Oregon Primary Presidential Campaign.  The photograph was taken on the Oregon Coast with a 28mm Nikkor lens, a personal favorite for close-in documentary photography. I was positioned less than 20 feet from Kennedy for an intimate capture of this famous well published event. The wide angle perspective captures Robert with his beloved dog, Freckles shown tagging behind as they run north along the coastline.

Kennedy fought for Civil Rights as Attorney General; his positive vision for the advancement of peace, justice, equality and responsibility is still relevant today. This image is part of a portfolio of images selected by the RFK Center with the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority in a promotion (Fall 2008) celebrating the renaming of their Triborough Bridge to the RFK Bridge.

"RFK HOPE"

Animated portrait of Bobby Kennedy captures the crowd's aspirations of hope dating from the beginning of his presidential campaign. Kennedy fought for Civil Rights as Attorney General; his positive vision for the advancement of peace, justice, equality and responsibility is still relevant today. This image is part of a portfolio of images selected by the RFK Center with the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority in a promotion (Fall 2008) celebrating the renaming of their Triborough Bridge to the RFK Bridge.

The type of camera I used for all of the Kennedy photographs was a Nikon F Series with Nikkor Lenses. The photograph was taken with an 300mm Nikkor, a personal favorite for available light documentary and portrait photography. Exposures were made on Kodak Tri-X B&W film.

Wonderful Civil Rights Era pictorial photograph of Robert and Ethel Kennedy dating from the May 1968 Oregon Primary Presidential Campaign. The view depicts the couple strolling along the North Oregon Coastline near Astoria.  This image captures a photo of the couple as they walk with a group of African American children.

Robert was a living embodiment of his slain brother. He represents the resurrection of the promise that he and his brother embodied while in the White House. That restoration, after Dallas, took many forms: Civil Rights at home, Human Rights abroad and the end of Apartheid for all people. His message and charisma and his policies were understood as ending all of the cruel and artificial divisions allowing him to bring a process of healing between people.

This pose, depicts intensity in its expression and resolve as Kennedy faced the turbulent last days of the presidential campaign... "ALL the guilt and the compassion and the pain..." Kennedy fought for Civil Rights as Attorney General; his positive vision for the advancement of peace, justice, equality and responsibility is as relevant today. Copyright © 1968 Clyde Keller.

"ALONE" Compelling portrait of this most notable American taken less than three weeks before his death. This view of Kennedy walking alone is at the Portland International Airport and was unplanned due to a lull in the schedule. I was the only photographer to view this moment. His dog, Freckles is shown accompanying him (to the stage left) in the grass. A 300mm telephoto Nikkor lens was used to emphasize the isolation. This pose, depicts one of the few quiet moments of the turbulent Oregon Primary. Freckles was always close to Robert during these last three weeks. Copyright © 1968 Clyde Keller.
