Unpublished JFK photos reveal private moments

[alp227]

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Thousands of photos taken during John F. Kennedy's 1,036 days as president remain unseen since White House photographer Cecil Stoughton printed and logged them in his darkroom five decades ago.

When Stoughton's family auctioned them last month, collector and filmmaker Keya Morgan purchased about 15,000 of the images, including many showing private Kennedy family moments.

"He was there all the time, and he trusted him with his life," Morgan said of Stoughton.

Most captured public events, but usually just a few shots from an event would have been released, Morgan said. The boxes likely hold surprises, but it could take years for him to examine each image, he said.

"I would say 95% of these photos have never been published or seen by anyone, and that is because there are just way too many," Morgan said.

Morgan gave CNN the first peek inside the boxes after the photographs were delivered to him in Los Angeles this week.

2. I would like to know too but he was

really vague about it. He did say they were worth around a million dollars but not what they cost him.
