David Hume Kennerly

Includes a fold-out mosaic that shows 365 photos, one a day from the year, and approximately 150 larger pictures all taken in 2013 with the iPhone. David Hume Kennerly: On the iPhone is Pulitzer prize-winning photographer David Hume Kennerly's philosophical journey through his photographic career, combining lessons he has learned along the way with suggestions that will help everyone make better pictures. Kennerly's journey is seen through the lens of his second picture-a-day-for-a-year project, this time using only the camera built into his mobile phone. David Hume Kennerly: On the iPhone proves that memorable photographs are created less by the equipment than the eye behind the lens. This book uses examples from his 2013 picture-a-day journey along with anecdotes and tips from the past that explore his own joy, passion and approach to shooting, while helping others to improve their pictures.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer's unprecedented sixty-year eyewitness account of the pivotal events that have defined modern American and world history. After he won the Pulitzer Prize for his photos when he was 25, Kennerly became President Gerald R. Ford's chief White House photographer; he has been on assignment in more than 100 countries. With more than 50 Time and Newsweek covers, Kennerly has cemented his place among the most important photojournalists of our time. This magnum opus gathers his most iconic images into a sweeping narrative of America's most consequential era: from the night Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel, to the battlefields of Vietnam; from the Watergate scandal that led to Nixon's resignation, to the Ford White House. He was in the room for exclusive coverage of Reagan's and Gorbachev's "Fireside Summit" in Geneva; was with Governor George W. Bush the night of the 2000 election that ended in a tie; and photographed the Pentagon as it burned after the 9/11 attack; afterwards went to Afghanistan and Iraq. He was there on Obama's first night as president; when Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton; and with Kamala Harris when she lost to Trump. Kennerly's photographs remain as relevant today as ever. Published as America marks its 250th birthday, this landmark book coincides with a major exhibition of his work at the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Fall 2026. For students, historians, and anyone who values the power of photojournalism at its peak, this is the definitive volume--a must-have for every collection.

This impressive book is richly illustrated with 91 gorgeous macro photographs — of flowers, and also some of their pollinators — by John Rodrigues, an artist who has taken that time to truly see. We invite you to sit back, maybe with a cup of hot Chamomile tea, and indulge in these images — taking the time to truly see these flowers, and to appreciate their inherent majesty. John Rodrigues takes an old lens and new camera and gives us a new look at an old photographic subject.

Complements is a gem, an intimate book to be savoured on first readings and held near as a resource on what is meaningful. It contains 110 luscious photos of small objects juxtaposed in ways that evoke emotions, thoughts, questions, and remembrance of beauty. The photographs tell stories, make wry jokes, and allude to the larger realities of the esoteric. As complements, the objects are more than the sum of their parts. A sentence or two of text accompanies each photograph, creating storylines that draw the viewer into the world of the objects as strongly as if the objects were human, except their not being human allows the viewer a purer sense of the message of their story. David Hume Kennerly, the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, says in the foreword, “The narrative and pictures reunite twins separated at birth.” The photographs pull the viewer in with their emotional content, then ask the viewer to step back for another look — to both feel and think, to understand truths beyond words.
