He was a friend to all the brothers in light...
Eddie Adams, I used to see him at all the Nikon parties at the PMA and at other functions. He always had time to answer questions and was usually swamped. At one of the parties I'm sitting right next to him having dinner and the wife asks// "who is that gentleman you are talking to". "Oh, he's probably one of the most honored photographers of our time. His venues are in journalism, corporate, editorial, fashion, entertainment and advertising". He's been featured in Time, Newsweek, Life, Paris Match, Parade, Penthouse, Vogue, The London Sunday Times Magazine, The New York Times, Stern and Vanity Fair. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his unforgettable photograph of the street execution of a Viet Cong. I found this tidbit on PNN's page. and I quote, "Eddie Adams is a man to whom Clint Eastwood said, "Good shot", Fidel Castro said, "Let's go duck hunting", The Pope said, "You've got three minutes". -- (B)# I wish you well.....

Apparently Eddie Adams wasn't very proud that he took the picture of the Viet Cong captive being shot by Police Chief Lt. Colonel Nguyen Ngoc Loan. He never displayed the picture in his studio and often refused to talk about the picture. He once said, "Sometimes a picture can be misleading because it doesn't tell the whole story." He often felt he "unfairly maligned Loan" and in later years, the picture began to haunt him. Adams was acquainted with Loan and considered "Loan a hero, given the circumstances of the time." What the picture didn't show was that the handcuffed Viet being shot by Loan was a Viet Cong Captain who a couple of hours earlier had "personally murdered the entire family of Loan's closest aid, moments before he was captured." The world pitied the murder and condemned the grief stricken Loan, and Adams was sorry he took the picture. (Ref: Associated Press news release) nick -- (B)# I wish you well.....
