If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud. ~Emile Zola As a long-time photojournalist and photo editor I believe images have the power to be a reflection of the face of the Divine in our everyday lives. I now find myself in a season where the reflections that are clearest for me are in natural settings as well as in the creative works of humans. Not all of my images are a quick read. Some, as photographer Andrew Lawson refers to it, have a slower fuse. A thumbnail is just the beginning. Much of what I know comes from being out shooting on a regular basis, but I am deeply indebted to faculty, staff and fellow students at the photography program at Fresno State University; Fresno City College; the photography/printing/graphic design programs at Rochester Institute of Technology; and the graduate studies program in photojournalism at the University of Missouri, Columbia all of whom taught me where to start. Nor can I forget the staff in the newsroom at the State paper in Columbia, SC or those at the Poynter Institute, Pictures of the Year competition and the Kalish Photoediting workshop. I wouldn't be doing what I am today without the encouragement and help of my family; Dave Milligan; Don Ray; Brad Vaughan; Mike Fagans; Tracy Glantz; Greg Peters; Mike Vosburg; Steve Dzerigian; Ray Arth; Greg Lewis; Kenyon McWilliams and Carolyn Yashur. If I inadvertently left anyone out you are deeply appreciated despite the brain glitch. <a href="mailto:ktsgonewalkaboutphoto@gmail.com">Email me</a> http://ktsgonewalkabout.smugmug.com/photos/418253192_fM953-Ti.jpg http://ktsgonewalkabout.smugmug.com/ 2009-06-09T12:07:38Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
