Nick Ut Announces Upcoming Retirement: “Nicky Didn’t Go To The War, The War Came To Him”
Legendary photojournalist Nick Ut has announced his upcoming retirement from The Associated Press after 51 years.
“I shipped all my AP cameras to New York,” Ut told News Photographer magazine tonight. “After 51 years I have a lot of vacation time to take before I retire,” he said with a big laugh. “I’m going to be taking a lot of days off until the end of the year.”
