Winfield S. Frazeur IV, born May 10, 1941 is an American photographer. While working in the U.S. Navy, Winfield was assigned to take official photographs for the military and U.S. Government.〔(Winfield S. Frazeur's Page - Navy Veterans )〕 As a military photographer Winfield's most notable photographic events include photographing American presidents, John F. Kennedy aboard the US Kittyhawk in 1963 for which he received a letter of appreciation signed by the President;〔Kennedy, John F. The Office of the President of the United States. Letter to Winfield Scott Frazeur. XX Month 1962.〕 and George W. Bush, in which Winfield had a 2-hour photo shoot during his re-election campaign. Very few photographers get the chance to photograph U.S. presidents due to strict Secret Service protection (States Secret Service ). In 1962, when the U.S. was entangled with the Russians and Cuba in a Cold War crisis, Winfield was aboard a military vessel and photographed the first pictures and important proof of Russian ships carrying missiles bound for Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis coming from the Black Sea into the Mediterranean Sea, passing through the Strait of Gibraltar and into the North Atlantic Ocean. Winfield attended the (Expo '92 ) in Spain, which was organized to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' discovery of the Americas. During the event, Winfield was the only photographer photographing the exact replicas of Columbus' ships Niña, the Santa Maria, and Pinta prior to setting sail on the same route Columbus embarked on 500 years earlier. In 1962, while Winfield was stationed in Spain, Winfield regularly took pictures at a local enlisted men's club. Winfield's focal point was often a flamenco troupe that included Maria Magdalena Ramirez Garcez. Forty one years after first capturing her photograph, Winfield returned to Spain after reconnecting with Maria and photographed her again.〔(Search for dancer just platonic | MailTribune.com )〕 In 1966 Winfield and his wife, Clare, visited Korea at the 38th Parallel. While on the visit to complete the adoption of their daughter, Winfield took a photograph of 25 babies and toddlers whose home was simply a blanket on a cement floor. One toddler gravitated toward them and because the picture of the babies portrayed such a low quality of life, Winfield and his wife brought two daughters home from the Star of the Sea Orphanage near Incheon, Korea. Winfield has captured many other historical events including the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain; artifacts in Denmark including The Little Mermaid (statue) in Copenhagen based on a tale by Hans Christian Andersen; and the Great Buddha of Kamakura Statue in Japan. Winfield’s photos have appeared in displays in Europe, Asia, and the United States. == History == As a photographer and aerial reconnaissance and public affairs specialist while on active duty with the Department of the Navy,〔(Tank Landing Ship LST-848 Jerome County )〕〔(USN Ships-USS Jerome County (LST-848) )〕 Winfield developed photographic techniques and programs that the US Navy still uses. In addition to taking photos of Naval vessels,〔(Photo # NH 98369 picture data )〕 Winfield was a frequent lecturer on photography to subordinates. As a civilian employee for the federal government's satellite remote sensing facility, Winfield developed the first quality assurance program in electronic and photographic reproductions from satellite imagery. Also during this period, Winfield developed the first product specifications for final photographic and electronic products produced by this government facility. 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「Winfield S.
