David Hume Kennerly Pop Up

After lunch today, we drove down to the UA Campus to see the David Hume Kennerly pop-up exhibition.  His career stretches back to the 1960’s and the breadth of his work is staggering.  We were surprised at how many of Kennerly's images are the iconic photos of those particular moments, that everyone thinks of.   

“As a featured component of the University of Arizona’s Family Weekend 2019, the Center for Creative Photography has designed its first-ever outdoor pop-up exhibition to be displayed along the UA Mall.  Including over 60 images by Kennerly, the exhibition shows the Pulitzer-prize winning photographer’s breadth of subjects.  Included are his early political pictures of Robert Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford; entertainment images including Mick Jagger, Miles Davis, and Jerry Seinfeld; sports figures Mary Lou Retton, Muhammed Ali, and Carl Lewis; recent political figures President Donald Trump, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and former President Jimmy Carter; and news events including a space shuttle lift off, presidential inaugurations, and a chilling view of the Pentagon on 9/11. The exhibition will run Friday, October 11 through Monday, October 14 only.”
