[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm part of a group of seven that were all Photo Editor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's student newspaper, the UWM POST. I'm the oldest and the first (1969-70), and the others followed me into the seventies. We all went on to be award-winning professional photographers and now try to meet monthly for breakfast. There were four of us at today's gathering and I took some pictures. Dave was my colleague at UWM Photo Services for 12 years before leaving to work at Buell Motorcycles (he and I toured the UK and Isle of Man on motorcycles in 1993). < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Portraits/20240312_MR_Dave_DSF8250.jpg.html > After some newspaper work, Dan got to be Director of Photo Services at Marquette University, where he met and photographed Mother Theresa, among others. < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Portraits/20240312_MR_Dan_DSF8248.jpg.html > Paul also shot for a newspaper before getting the job of Director of Photo Services at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Portraits/20240312_MR_Paul_R_DSF8257.jpg.html > So in 1998, when I became Director of Photo Services at UWM, we held the same position at the three biggest colleges in town. Not present today were Karen, who had a career at the Milwaukee Journal and served as President of the Wisconsin News Photographers Association, another Paul, who is still working as an international stock photo consultant, and Peter, for a few years personal photographer to the former Mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington. I'm so fortunate to have such friends. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amagayneroshak at gmail.com <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/> "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
