president – Mr. Holga https://mrholga.com walkabout street and portrait photographer Wed, 27 Feb 2013 16:14:03 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 49179826 I’m Still Searching for a Parkland Hospital Baby https://mrholga.com/2012/09/im-still-searching-for-a-parkland-hospital-baby/ https://mrholga.com/2012/09/im-still-searching-for-a-parkland-hospital-baby/#comments Fri, 14 Sep 2012 19:04:18 +0000 http://www.mrholga.com/?p=786 I started looking for any baby born at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas on November 11, 1963. My searching has been limited and not a full time endeavor. Since August 2010, I have only had one person contact me about being born in Dallas on that day. However, the person was not born at Parkland Hospital.

I now have a list from Ancestry.com that gives me all the names of babies born in Dallas County on the same day as Kennedy’s assassination.

If you are on the list below or know someone who is on the list below, please have them contact me. I would very much like to meet them and possibly photograph them for the JFK book I am preparing for the 50th anniversary.

My ultimate goal is to get a Parkland baby, but I may just get a group of Dallas babies together for a special photograph.

Please contact me via the contact form at Dallas Art News or find me on Facebook at facebook.com/DeathByHolga or on Twitter at twitter.com/MrHolga. I can’t wait to meet you.

Washington, D.C. Trip Planning https://mrholga.com/2012/01/washington-d-c-trip-planning/ https://mrholga.com/2012/01/washington-d-c-trip-planning/#comments Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:53:51 +0000 http://www.mrholga.com/?p=510 I will be visiting Washington, D.C. over spring break this year. My wife and I are currently researching the area for sights, hotels and places to eat. We want to stay close to the metro system and some good restaurants. A room with a view is probably out of the question.

I have a long list of items to photograph while I am in D.C. Below is a list of my photographic agenda:

  • Arlington National Cemetery
    • President John F. Kennedy
    • First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis
    • Robert Kennedy, U. S. Attorney General
    • Senator Edward Kennedy
    • Col. James Swindal, Air Force One pilot
    • Cecil W. Stoughton, White House photographer
    • Evelyn Norton Lincoln, president’s personal secretary
    • Dr. George Burkley, president’s physician
    • Malcolm MacGregor Kilduff, White House Spokesman
    • Arthur Goldberg, Secretary of Labor
    • Marriman Smith, United Press International
    • Justice Early Warren, Warren Commission
    • Senator John Sherman Cooper, Warren Commission
    • Stephen John Roman, my grandfather
  • Congressional Cemetery
    • J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director
    • Congressman Hale Boggs Jr., Warren Commission
  • White House
    • East Room where President Kennedy lay in repose
  • U.S. Capitol Building
    • Capitol Rotunda where President Kennedy lay in state
  • U.S. National Archives
  • National Museum of American History
    • Lee Harvey Oswald’s rifle
  • Georgetown
    • The residence where Mrs. Kennedy stayed after leaving the White House
  • Martin Luther King Memorial
  • Ford’s Theater
  • Madame Tussauds
    • President Kennedy and Johnson wax figures
    • They have Jacqueline Kennedy in the pink wool suit! Score!

I’ll be spending a day at Arlington National Cemetery all by myself. My wife has promised to go shopping while I am busy photographing history. I hope she does not spend too much.

I previously visited Washington, D.C. and Arlington National Cemetery in the 1990s.

My first visit was for my grandfather’s funeral. My grandfather made a career out of the Air Force serving in World War II and a couple of other skirmishes. It was a beautiful service with a horse-drawn carriage and a twenty-one gun salute. Too bad I was not into Holgas then.

My second trip was with my grandmother. She used to live in D.C. with my grandfather. I though she would be a good tour guide, but she was just as lost as I was. Oh well, we had a good time anyway.

Let me know if I need to send you a post card. Cheers.
