Never Forget

"All this will not be finished in the first 100 days, nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, Nor in the life of this administration, Nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin"

John Fitzgerald Kennedy-November 23 1963

Obsession

My obsession with The Kennedy's is increasing by the day! I managed to stop myself from reading about them today for 20mins to go on the computer to check my emails and write this post! I will most probably go back to reading after this! I have a huge fascination with their lives and not only JFK and Jackie but the whole family! I'm interested in every detail, how the Kennedy's were more like a brand than a family and the scandal that went on behind closed doors. Nothing was certainly as it seemed on the outside. These pictures were taken by the fashion photographer Richard Avedon. I recently purchased the book 'Richard Avedon, The Kennedys' which is a selection of photography work he did on JFK and Jackie. Here are some examples below from 1961 as John F Kennedy was elected President of the United States of America.

Wow I have not posted in a while! Apologies! I've thrown myself into Uni work and nothing has really caught my eye to post about! For a photography project I have decided to focus on the life of The Kennedy's. As your all probably aware Jackie Kennedy was a huge style icon but I wanted to concentrate on her life in the White House alongside John Kennedy. I've been researching so much into their life and have found it really fascinating! I've been doing a lot on the assassination of JFK and the story is just so interesting! I wanted to share some photo's I'm using for my research. Hopefully I'll be able to share more when I'm starting my research book properly for my project.

I absolutely love every one of these photos. Which is your favourite?
