Please forgive him. It's all those years spent growing up in a trailer
behind Lynndie England's.



She gave me a thumbs up.

It is sad that someone who has aspiration to be a "great
photographer" in this group does not have any respect to
one of the really legendary photographers...

It is also sad, that nowadays the military impose so easy
so much censorship and selection on who can photograph and
when, while they are in action. People like Eddia Adams
became to inconvenient... Good that that they forgot their
own 'little ones,' who delivered us some prime class CD's
with self made "documentary" of the war behind the scenes
and contemporary understanding of the Geneva Convention...

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".

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.
