Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographer To Speak at WWI Museum Nov. 3

KANSAS CITY, MO. (October 5th, 2009) – James Earl Jones said, “David Hume Kennerly is like Forrest Gump, except he was really there.”

Digital Labrador and Canon, U.S.A. are pleased to bring Pulitzer-prize winning photographer, David Hume Kennerly to Kansas City for a very special evening Tuesday, November 3rd at 7 PM at the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online at www.DigitalLabrador.com or by phone 816-841-9624. A collection of his photographs will be on exhibit during the month of November and can be viewed during a pre-event reception from 4-6 PM at Digital Labrador, 125 Southwest Blvd.

Kennerly has been shooting on the front lines of history for more than 40 years. He's photographed eight wars, as many U.S. presidents, and he has traveled to dozens of countries along the way. At 25, he won the 1972 Pulitzer Prize for his photos of the Vietnam War, and two years later was appointed President Gerald R. Ford’s personal photographer.

Most recently he produced Barack Obama: The Official Barack Obama Inaugural Book, with Bob McNeely, who was President Clinton’s official White House photographer. He also provided some exclusive behind-the-scenes photographs of President Obama for the project. Earlier this summer a major exhibition of photographs from the book was mounted in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
