a world in pictures


This picture, of President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie, was taken moments before his assassination on November 22, 1963. Although this is not a world-class photo, why would it be? No one, besides the shooter knew he would have been assassinated on that day, no one, besides the shooter knew that that would be the last day to take a picture of the current president of the United States of America, no one knew. By the faces of the President and his wife, I infer that it was a joyous time, a good day. Maybe their kids were being extra well behaved that day, this makes it even more saddening for me. A perfect day ruined, by just one bad man with one good shot.
