David Burnett is one of the legends of photography over the last 50 years. I am pleased to call him my friend. Back when I was just beginning teaching government he was recording some great moments in politics. This 1976 photo of Governor Jimmy Carter on a chair in a New Hampshire kitchen graphically and iconically demonstrates how much primary politics has changed in NH. Carter created a revolution in politics by discovering the value of the Iowa caucuses and capitalizing on his win he got there he went on to win in NH the nomination and election. David was there…and then he followed me at the Trump rally in Claremont 40 years later: January 5, 2016. http://www.davidburnett.com
