Joe Kennedy - Photographs

 
 
 
 
Many of the photographs on this page have been sent by wire and published nationwide and around the world.  When I started as a freelance photographer in the late 70's, I soon felt privileged to be among the few to have access to technology that could accomplish that feat within a few minutes.  Recent technology enables millions to do the same in seconds, and much of what is viewed on mass media today likely originated on a common smartphone.

Note:  File sizes have been reduced and watermarks have been added for web use.
