I was a young reporter in the #Buffalo bureau of UPI way back in 1977. This story went viral before there was an internet. Walter Cronkite (Google him) used it as a kicker on the CBS Evening News.
Mother Nature always has the last at bat.

Where would photojournalism be today without the “decisive moment” he pioneered!

To all my photojournalism students, a MUST READ on the circle of life.

[David Hume Kennerly @kennerly]

It was my honor to unite a pair of photo heroes after they were gone @DirckHalstead1 was my friend and mentor. Both of us were fans of Robert Capa, but Dirck wins that contest! Dirck was also godfather to my first son Byron Kennerly @ImprovAmbassadr -- https://t.co/Z3n5LJqVjl

I believe that Nick Ut really is Zelig! Today he and Kim Phuc met @Pontifex at the Vatican. Nick and Kim changed the world in that moment of terror 50 yrs ago in Vietnam. Her ordeal. His photo. History was made. The power of photography. @PulitzerPrizes @BeschlossDC @jmeacham

Another great photographer closes his eye. Former UPI and TIME magazine photojournalist Dirk Halstead has died. He was 85.

[Trey Yingst @TreyYingst]

A beautiful tribute to Pierre. We will miss him.

[Allan Schear @voodootv]

Congrats on reaching your 75th from a fellow Unipresser!

[David Hume Kennerly @kennerly]

Fifty yrs ago today was my 25th birthday in Saigon. Never thought I’d see it. I arrived in Vietnam a year earlier, and had so many close calls, I shouldn’t have lived. But I did. Every year after was a gift. When I hit 50 I doubled up, and today, on my 75th, I scored a triple!

Congratulations to @latimes photojournalist (and former Buffalo News photo intern!) Marcus Yam @yamphoto
on being named the @NPPA BOP photojournalist of the year (large market). Thanks for your courage and coverage of Ukraine War. Stay safe.

Truth may be the first casualty of war, but this time, shortwave radio may be its savior.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

"As Russia is trying to cut off the flow of information in Ukraine by attacking its communications infrastructure, the British news outlet BBC is revisiting a broadcasting tactic popularized during World War II: shortwave radio." @tiffkhsu has details here https://t.co/JqTRwUUxYw

[Olga Tokariuk @olgatokariuk]

The first person I know died in this war. My former colleague, TV cameraman Yevhenii Sakun, was killed yesterday as a result of Russian missile strike on Kyiv's Babyn Yar, along with 4 other people. It was a pleasure working with him. I'm devastated by this news. Eternal memory

[Chris Post @ChrisMPost]

Saddened to hear about the death of TV Photojournalist Yevhenii Sakun who was killed on Tuesday when a targeted Russian missile hit a TV facility in Kyiv. Four others were killed in the same attack. Ruthless dictator try to silence the journalists who shed light on injustice.

RIP Lawrence and thanks for reminded us, in so many words, “even in heaven they don’t sing all the time”

Photojournalist David Gilkey's mother, Alyda Gilkey, remembers the man behind the lens: an adventurous soul who had a way of putting his subjects at ease. "All of his pictures seem to have a story," she says. https://t.co/6gRShbNMdr
