Fifty yrs ago today was my 25th birthday in Saigon. Never thought I’d see it. I arrived in Vietnam a year earlier, and had so many close calls, I shouldn’t have lived. But I did. Every year after was a gift. When I hit 50 I doubled up, and today, on my 75th, I scored a triple!

It was a painful decision to resign from the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, but necessary. I hope more people around the country will follow @Liz_Cheney's example and speak out about the threat to our democracy. Time to step up.

Every year, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation bestows an award meant to honor acts of political courage.
But foundation leaders are too cowardly to honor Liz Cheney for her courage taking on Trump.

Sen. Robert Kennedy was shot by an assassin in L.A. 56 yrs ago today and died the next day. RFK inspired me to choose political photography as a career. It has been all about the history. Made this a few weeks before he was killed. @KerryKennedyRFK @gtconway3d @mikebarnicle

After watching the @CNN documentary about #LindaRonstadt I found this photo I took of her during a shoot for @TIME at the Plaza Hotel in NYC in 1977. She is one of the greatest talents ever. I loved the film, love her. #LindaRonstadtMovie

Trump needs a new ghost writer. Oh wait, he wrote this. Trump should fire himself. @gtconway3d @NormOrnstein @JReinerMD @BillKristol @mikebarnicle @JoeNBC @morningmika @ImprovAmbassadr @ccwhip @hwinkler4real @MiaFarrow @glennkirschner2 @kasie @Tim_Walz

.@BeschlossDC's used my pic of Pres. Ford right after he pardoned Nixon, Sept. 8, '74. Ford was getting calls from political leaders who privately told him that he did the right thing, then blasted him in public. I know, I was in the room as he got them. @CCP_UArizona
Gerald Ford just after pardoning Richard Nixon, as political firestorm begins, today 1974: @kennerly

Against the backdrop of #Sedona, @SenJohnMcCain, wife @cindymccain at his side, suspended his 2000 campaign. This may have been my most elegant picture of a candidate ending a quest, but as we know, he roared back eight years later to win his Party's nomination.

A pic of Pres Reagan & Speaker O'Neill I made in 1982. A conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat in a genuinely warm moment. I have little faith we will see a similar scene anytime soon. @jaketapper @JoeNBC @BeschlossDC @mikebarnicle @JReinerMD @ImprovAmbassadr @ccwhip

The moment when @FLOTUS put her hands over her heart and looked at the @USPS stamp of former First Lady Betty Ford. Glad I was there to take this Betty Ford Forever photograph of two great First Ladies. @Ford_Library @schultzinit @Liz_Cheney @mikebarnicle @PeteSouza @jaketapper

One of my better post-resignation photos. Former VP Spiro Agnew after stepping down 48 years ago today. (Oct. 10, 1973). I can draw a straight line from this moment to me becoming the chief White House photographer. @jmeacham @BeschlossDC @CCP_UArizona @TotallyEffnLost #History
