About Artist:
Edward Thomas Adams, a/k/a Eddie Adams was born in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, USA in 1933 - died in NY in 2004. He knew from a young age that he wanted to be a photographer and in HS started to shot pictures. He worked for various newspapers and then for the AP at the time the photograph was taken - 1968. In 1969 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography. This image was a defining moment for him. He later worked for Time Magazine, Parade Magazine and had his own company. He covered many wars but also took many pictures of world events and world leaders, as well as celebrities.
Back in the 70s our family was searching for a country home in upstate NY for a getaway on weekends but also as a venue for a workshop for young photograhers. In the mid 70s our family purchased 60+acres with an old house, huge barn and pond in Jeffersonville, NY - After years of renovation and preparation The Eddie Adams Workshop for photographers began - Sandy Colton, one of Eddie's bosses at the AP said this about the workshop -
"...many people do not know why this workshop, which is free for 100 young photojournalists, came to be. Many of the country's greatest photographers, editors and publishers have volunteered their time gratis as speakers and instructors. Many major corporations have donated personnel and materials. Why? Eddie said he wanted to "pay back" for his success and help those on the way up. Incidentally, I believe at least three Pulitzer Prize winners are among the graduates of the workshop"

About Artwork:
The photograph is in excellent condition and is printed on 16x20 inch paper but the actual image size is 11.5 x 18 inches. The location of the shot is handwritten by Eddie in the lower left part and his signature is the lower right. The image shown here does not show the signature because if it is on the computer then mages are downloadable so for security purposes the image with white border, location and signature is not shown here. Seller is daughter of the photographer. You can contact me here with additional questions or requests for more information.
