| David Hume Kennerly captures the action on a hot landing zone near Khe San, Vietnam. Kennerly went on to win a Pulitzer Prize in 1972 for his portfolio on Vietnam. Kennerly has said, “I wanted to show the periphery of war and to depict the people who lived there . . . . They all lived in a place where peace was only a distant rumor.†|

| David Hume Kennerly was a high school photographer in his hometown in Oregon. In his book, Photo Op, he writes, “I wanted to be a photographer ever since I was a kid. I looked at the camera as ‘my ticket out,’ meaning not just a way to escape small-town life but also, and more importantly, a way to see what was happening in this wide world and show it to those who couldn’t go there.†|
