Edmund Clark Q&A
“What’s the greatest picture you didn’t take?
‘Great’ is a very difficult word to justify about anything. There is a great image (above) by Ed Clark, but another Ed Clark … he photographed ‘Among the Mourners’ as Franklin Delaware Roosevelt’s hearse headed to the train station in Warm Spring, Ga., in 1945. The photograph shows Navy bandsman Graham Jackson playing ‘Goin’ Home’ on the accordion, with tears streaming down his cheeks.”
