The Smithsonian Magazine posted this blog story yesterday about an exhibit featuring portraits of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy at the National Museum of American History. Taken by Richard Avedon for Harpers Bazaar, they are, in my mind, evidence of a certain kind of royalty Americans had during a romantic era in our history. There was such hope after Kennedy was elected President (which is when these photos were taken), that the aura around this couple and their young family emulate the light many Americans were feeling.
It's obvious that photos capture a moment in time that can be reflected upon later. But when you see the photos of a young family, a promising world leader, a legacy in the making, the true value of those captured moments are intense. Our photographs are more than mere documentation. They are mirrors into our history, guiding lights into our future.
