There are few images of my adolescence I remember more than the photographs of Bobby Kennedy. I was unaware at the time they were taken by Clyde Keller, but I vividly remember feeling like I was part of the crowd, even though Kennedy was assassinated in 1968 and I probably did not see the photos until much later.
Time passed, and when I began to read Ken Kesey it was Keller's photographs I found again.
So, imagine my delight and surprise to find that Mr. Keller has an etsy shop You may not know his name, but I hope you'll know his photos when you visit.
He's photographed a lot of wonderful musicians, my husband thinks, Frank Zappa, but I'm not sure of that. Perhaps I'll get a chance to ask Mr. Keller one day.

Oh, how neat is that? Thanks for sharing. I keep hearing complaints on the forums of published articles stating that Etsy is for amateur "hobbyists" even though I know that is not true. It's refreshing to see someone of that caliber with a shop!
This is so cool--I have old photos of Bobby Kennedy from old Life magazines that I am framing in a collage sort of thing--oh how I loved him! I was 13 when he was assasinated and thought the world was going to end that summer. First Martin Luther King, Jr., then him, then the debacle of the conventions...what a year that was!
Awesome photos and such memories. I'm sure you will get to chat with him at some point.
I'll have to go look at his shop! We just watched the movie Bobby last night. So sad.....
Great post! I will go check out his shop.
I love those photographs and remember vividly that time in history.
Thanks for sharing.
