In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it. – Susan Sontag
Everyday newspapers lose good journalists. This is old news. Most are because of layoffs, but not always.
The “American Press” lost one of my favorite reporters last week, but John Guidroz left in pursuit of a masters. We are so proud! Guidroz was an excellent reporter and had the APME awards to prove it. Plus, he was just darn nice!
John did have a knack for getting in the backgrounds on my photos when we were covering events together. I’ll miss trying to crop him out of my photos.
BTW: John is also a talented musician. I had been trying to make it out to hear him sing for many months. Time drug out until it was time for his last show in Lake Charles. That is the one I attended. John sung many of my favorite songs from the 80’s and 90’s. He’s got such talent: award-winning journalist and he can sing!
