A good shooter needs access, and none has more of it than Kennerly. On assignment for NEWSWEEK in 2000, he carried an extra camera, reserving it for a more personal glimpse of the campaign’s scenes and sanctums. The result is “Photo du Jour,” a candid portrait album of America–and American politics–at the millennium.
As usual, Kennerly was in the right place at the right time. He was designing the book’s pages in 2001 when Al Qaeda struck. Suddenly, he possessed a mosaic of a nation–and those who would lead it–at the end of an innocent age. He captured the democratic pageant that embodies who we are–and that we must once again defend.
