 This is what I like about photographs. They're proof that once, even if just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect. Jodi Picoult by Skip Cohen
A year or two back, I promised to stop using the Jodi Picoult quote, but there isn't a better one when it comes to looking back. The group above comprises many of the finest artists and educators in the photographic industry. I shared the image in 2020, but with WPPI coming up next month, the timing couldn't be better for a walk down Memory Lane once again. Alan Karlin sent me two small albums many years ago. They were filled with his shots from WPPI 2004, and this one is a classic. Click on the image to view it a little larger in the SCU Lightbox! This group shot is most of the instructors/speakers at WPPI 2004, and it's a stellar crew. These artists blazed a trail of influence for so many photographers today. Sadly, there are at least six who have passed away since Alan clicked the shutter, but that doesn't change the impact they had on so many of us. How many do you recognize? Happy Throwback Thursday!
