2. RFK Assassination – Bill Eppridge








Haunting, is the only word I can think of to describe the series of photographs taken by Bill Eppridge after the senator was shot by Sirhan Sirhan. Kneeling next to RFK is 17 year old bus boy Juan Romero who was shaking the senators hand at the time of the shooting. In my opinion these photographs are incredibly harrowing and almost certainly show the senators last moments. I am highly moved by these stills and have the utmost respect for the photographer keeping a cool head in such an awful situation.
