20 Years of Photojournalism

From 1975 to 1995 I was photographer, then editor and finally publisher of The Banner-Independent, a small weekly newspaper in Booneville, Mississippi. These are some of my favorite photos from those years.

Hi Kenneth,
Thank you for the Rolling Stones 4th of July photos. I found myself in the "Full House" photo! Great memories of that day!

I would love to use a photo, at the moment, I have just added the URL.Also if any band members see this, I have uploaded a sound clip of Loaded (not downloadable)and would love to hear more about the band and the single
Thanks
Robin

What a wonderful variety of photos you have taken through the years! I so much admire photojournalists and find myself reading the bylines and following certain photographer's work as I read my daily paper. How I would miss not having a newspaper to start my day! I keep hearing about more and more newspapers that are no longer in business.

Thanks for sharing these photos and memories! V.

Kenneth,
Who knew that all those pictures you took of us way back then would bring back such wonderful memories of a much simpler, more wonderful time? It would be great to go back to the Hut and hear the Phinx one more time...

Kenneth, It is great to have had such a professional, chronicle our lives in the 60's and 70's. Who knew those pictures could mean so much to us now. As always, you work is impeccable.
