A Time It Was: RFK

A Time It Was: Bobby Kennedy in the Sixties by photojournalist Bill Eppridge is out in time for the June 5, 2008, fortieth anniversary of Bobby's death. In 1968 Eppridge was covering Kennedy's presidential campaign for Life magazine, and was outside the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles when he heard and counted eight gunshots. Of his now-famous photograph from that night Bill says, "It went through my mind not to take the picture, but this was history." Bill talks about the experience in an article, with photographs, on NikonNet.
