Honored to have my Tank Man photo in Time Magazines top 100 best images of all time. #photography #photojournalism #history

SOUTH POLE, Antarctica 1995 - One of the coolest photo assignments I have done (Around -50 degrees) was for AP covering the National Science Foundation's work at the South Pole. We were supposed to spend 5 hours but bad weather stranded my reporter and me for five days.

I never get used to giving live interviews on national television like this one for CBS. You never know if your eye twitches or a coughing spell starts - LOL. Check it out youtu.be/J0oV5DwIDZo

It was eight years ago that I had one of the coolest interviews of my career. An 18-minute chat with PBS legend Charlie Rose on the 25th anniversary of my iconic 'Tank Man' photograph taken during the 1989 Tiananmen Square uprising. Watch the video charlierose.com/videos/17111

Here is another anniversary event from my archive. It was 25 years ago that I got to take control of an F16 Fighting Falcon at Nellis AFB. I wrote and photographed a story for my newspaper The Las Vegas Sun. The Thunderbird pilot took off with a 7g inverted climb. Awesome.

Looking through my archive today. Ten years ago I was in Angola photographing for an NGO who helped build schools for children. It was a great experience.

Talk about timing. Spotted this on the curb in Palm Beach during a walk around with students during FOTOfusion 2017 festival.

Photo/Jeff Widener 1985. Join ZUMA CEO Scott Mc Kiernan and I tomorrow for an action packed Fotofusion event 202 in Miami's Little Havana.

Captured these birds flying near an ancient cemetery near Gills Bay in Northern Scotland with my new Nikon D810.

In Orkney Islands now heading to Shetlands in a few days. This is me at Dunnottar castle.

Hey guys, in the spirit of the U S elections tonight, and to ease some stress, here is one from 2000 voting in Honolulu. Good luck to all.

Fall in Germany is beautiful. Played with the Nikon P900 the other day. This taken at a lake 35km north of Lubeck. Amazing camera. Try it.

So sorry to hear photographer Tim Mantoani has passed away. Both of us last year at his exhibit in San Diego. He was a great guy.
