documentary Alone in a Crowd

From the same assignment as my other entry, Senators MacNamara, Humphrey, JFK. and Walter Reuther, UAW chief. Just thought Kennedy's aloof expression ( as though he is viewing a much bigger picture), was worth a second showing. If you have the time, view it Larger. Thanks.

Critiques always welcome. Thanks.

Great picture - it is Humphreys as his last name was Humphrey.

Great shot. Perhaps he did have a bigger picture in mind. Certainly the others seem to be plying it up for JFK who is not amused. Lovely piece of history.

 

I think it would be Humphrey. (No need for the "s".)

Whoaaaa what a photo to have taken ! And your title nails it!

 

...suppose I'm showing my age but...awesome photo

Thank you for your kind comments, John, Bill and Jeremy. I had a gut feeling I had H.H.'s surname, wrong. My brain's been on sabbatical,of late. lol.

I really like the "join the" banner in the background. Wonderful shot!!!

I bet it was an honor just being there. What a shot!

Superb b&w shot, Doug. The scene, expressions and viewpoint are unique. Excellent light and contrast. A high quality historical photograph. Congrats!

 

PS.- I like the Leica III-F ... about the lens used for this shot ... was the Elmar F=10.5cm f/6.3 lens ?? Thanks fot sharing! - - David

It was the standard 50mm f/3.5 collapsible Elmar, David. Thanks for stopping by.

Think I commented here before, quess you had to upload it again. Superb photo Doug, this one should be in a history book.

HIstory!

What a fantastic shot. It should be in a history book! What an honor to have this image.

R. U. Serious!? That is awesome! That is history my friend! All though you didn't need me to tell you that. Congrats on an awesome photo!

Gosh! this is very, very good! the eyes are just telling what words wouldnt, considering they were politicians... The photo just allows one into the sounds of silence. Very good!

 

 

Perfect caption, perfect image. Nicely done. :)

One of the best photos that I've seen here. I agree with your interpretation of JFK's expression as being "big picture." But, maybe there's also an element of naivete? The face of an ideologue? I could go on. Or, rather, the photo could. It has so many facets to explore. Well done.
