Donald Clinton "Clint" Grant〔 (August 17, 1916 – April 21, 2010)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.death-record.com/l/144484230/Donald-Clinton-Grant )〕 was an American photographer and photojournalist based in Dallas, Texas. He was a staff photographer with ''The Dallas Morning News'' from 1949 to 1986. He was particularly known for his "humorous and touching" images of animals and children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dallaslibrary2.org/texas/Grant/ )〕 Grant's photographs were published in numerous newspapers and magazines, including ''Paris Match'', ''Newsweek'' and ''Time''; five of his feature photos were published on the back page of issues of ''Life'' magazine. Grant was on assignment in November 1963 to cover President John F. Kennedy's trip from Washington, D.C., to Dallas. One of his photographs made the front page of the November 22 edition of the ''Morning News''; a copy is believed to be the last thing Kennedy ever signed.〔 Grant also would make several pictures at Parkland Memorial Hospital within minutes after Kennedy's motorcade arrived following the shooting in Dealey Plaza. Grant was the recipient of multiple photojournalism awards during his career, including the Medallion for Excellence in Photojournalism.〔 He retired from ''The Dallas Morning News'' in 1986, but continued working in a semi-retired capacity for more than a decade thereafter. He died in Dallas of heart failure at age 93. ==Early life== Clint Grant was born in Nashville, Tennessee. During his time at Vanderbilt University, economic troubles brought on by the Great Depression forced Grant's family to move from Nashville; they settled in Dallas, Texas, where his father was asked to lead the Art Department at the ''Morning News''. Grant got a job with the Photo Department, but he was drafted into the United States Army before he could report to work. Grant served during World War II in Europe, where he never used a camera.〔 Grant married Myrtis Ann Halliburton in 1939 after a brief courtship; they had known each other for ten months before they walked down the aisle. When they met, he worked behind the dairy counter at the local A&P market where she was a customer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clint Grant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
