->> A great photographer and a better guy. Years ago I was a staff photographer for a NYC politician ken was brought in to do campaign stuff. AS if I had done it being on the city payroll it might've looked bad, we were shooting the sam eevent and I was a kid Ken, turns to me after about 15 minutes and says why am I here when they have you. It was a
totally out of the blue and unexpected thing to say. I was a no name a kid and Ken just made me feel great. I will never forget that. this was un known to him one of my heros talking to me, if you do not know Ken's work go and google him. |

Ken Regan stories...
1) There were many pictures of the Kennedy family with a "Ken Regan/Camera 5" credit but one time Ted Kennedy grabbed Ken's camera and took a few pictures of Ken. He displayed a print of that image with the credit "Edward Kennedy/Camera 5".
2) Someone once told me that Ken's idea of a good business lunch was to be in a limo, going from one assignment to another, while on the phone arranging a third gig, eating a sandwich...
3) Being in Newsweek's office one day to see/hear the photo editor going nuts on the phone. A full blown screaming fit. It turns out that Ken had, for the Lake Placid Olympics, had every piece of Nikon gear he owned winterized and then de-winterized by NPS. For most photographers that wouldn't be much of a problem but Ken Regan owned at least two of everything Nikon made and multiples when it came to cameras and such. The bill came to over $80K (more than $200K in today's dollars).
Newsweek paid the bill of course, the photos were excellent. |
