->> Regardless of whether this might be "off topic" (can't imagine anything relating to Eddie Adams being in that category), but I found out something today that should immediately make me the highest paid photographer in the world - HA!
My great uncle was married to Eddie's sister and my mother's best friend went to school with him.
Hmmmm.... now how to use this to my advantage?? |

->> Knowing the town and environment where he came from intimately, I agree with you 100%. It is an amazing story and one that should inspire anyone who ever picks up a camera with the intent of capturing any lasting image.
I actually found this out when mentioning that he was from the area to a family member. We were talking about photography and some of the most memorable images. The image from Vietnam came up and I was informed of the connection.
To those that knew him here, he was just Eddie - according to them. He came from a blue-collar, steel town and had that work ethic throughout his life, in my opinion.
A very small world. |
