Series III: Ken Regan and Camera 5, 1965-2002

This subseries features Regan's on-set photography work, chiefly on film and television productions, but also including the 1977 television broadcast of the National Ballet Theatre production of The Nutcracker, featuring Mikhail Baryshnikov and a Metropolitian opera production. Some early Regan work -- notably, John and Mary (1969) and Little Murders (1971) -- appears, but the series generally comprises Regan's corporate assignments from the 1990s and 2000s. These include recurring collaborations with directors Jonathan Demme and Clint Eastwood and actor Denzel Washington, substantial coverage of Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt in The Devil's Own (1997), and the chronicling of Christopher Reeve's directorial debut In the Gloaming (1997), two years after his paralysis.

This subseries represents Regan's photojournalistic reportage and trademark abilities to capture public figures in natural and intimate settings, both within and outside their professional contexts. Images cover a broad spectrum of public figures and events, and have been arranged by subject into three subseries: A) Entertainment, B) Politics and Crime, and C) Sports. All subseries are arranged alphabetically by subject. Individuals with 4-5 or more images have their own folders and entries in the container list; the others have been grouped together and are arranged alphabetically in the "miscellaneous" files. Some of the photographs have been laminated and are housed separately.

Additional Regan portraits, including further entertainment, rock'n'roll, politics, and sports subjects, are in Series VI and VII.

This subseries features Ken Regan coverage of newsworthy events and further activity in New York City, including political rallies and protests, sporting events, local professional athletic teams, and venue interiors.

This subseries is further divided into three subseries: A) Political Activism, B) Sporting Events and Teams, and C) Street Scenes and Interiors. Subseries III.3A, Political Activism, depicts civil rights, peace, and economic rallies and gatherings in New York City during the late 1960s and 1970s. Specific events include a Black Panthers protest of the arrest of the 'Panther 21' in Long Island City (April 6, 1970); peace demonstration outside the United Nations (April 15, 1967); and Womens Strike Day, protesting the lack of affordable or daycare centers (August 26, 1970).

Subseries III.3B, Sporting Events and Teams, showcases action photography of athletes, behind-the-scenes personnel, and spectators, including celebrities such as John Kennedy, Sr., at New York sporting events during the late 1960s to early 1970s, with baseball, basketball, football, hockey, boxing, tennis, and horse-racing all depicted. Local professional teams the New York Giants, New York Jets, New York Knicks, New York Nets, and New York Rangers are featured, as is the 1973 United States-USSR mens basketball game and Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fight of June 28, 1974.

Subseries III.3C, Street Scenes and Interiors, contains miscellaneous New York City street scenes, portraits, and interior shots.

This sub-series features undated photographs taken of memorials, exhibitions, and visitors of Dachau, the site of the first Nazi concentration camp in Germany. The pictures are undated but taken some time after 1965, when the former camp was opened to the public as a memorial and museum.
