What Was On (November 1963)
In November of 1963 Martin C. Johnson took over 140 photos of the television coverage of JFK's funeral. I've posted some of these here and there in the past but I thought it was high time a posted a larger series so I put together a series of 33 photos that pretty much cover both the assassination and the funeral itself. As this was one of the first events that was primarily experienced through television (as opposed to newspapers or radio) I think it's a worth a look (the reflection of the lamp that's in many of the photos is very literal reminder of how television brought events right into the living room). Of course they're also beautiful photos so check all 33 out here.
