Topic:
It is trite but true to say, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” These two programs will prove the truth of the saying, over and over again. Certain pictures are burned into your memory: the young woman with her arms outstretched, leaning over a body at Kent State; the people clinging to the plane leaving Afghanistan or to the helicopter leaving Saigon. There are pictures from around Eugene that have the same impact. In two evening sessions, two photojournalists will share their work and their stories from their years of experience and then take your questions.
On Monday, April 21, join photojournalist and professor Dan Morrison to view photos from around the world. On Monday, April 28, attend a program with Chris Pietsch, director of photography for Gannett newspapers in Oregon and longtime photojournalist for The Register-Guard. Both programs will occur at 6:30 p.m. at Marquis Eugene Assisted Living, 555 Club Road in Eugene. Sorry, no broadcast will be available.

Biography:
Dan Morrison has 40 years of experience as a professional photojournalist and writer/reporter, including nearly 30 years before joining the SOJC as a full-time. His photographs and stories have appeared in publications that include Austin American Statesman, Time Magazine, the New York Times, Discovery Channel Magazine, Backpacker Magazine, and the New York Post. For many years he was a stringer for the Associated Press, and his work was published globally. His photojournalism has taken him to the frontlines of war zones such as: the Israeli Defense Forces invasion of southern Lebanon; the Sandinista-Contra conflict in Nicaragua; civil war in El Salvador; border conflict with Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon; and the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan. He has received major awards for his work. Since joining the faculty of UO, he has continued to practice photojournalism for local, national, and international news venues. He earned an MPA in Public Administration from the LBJ School of Public Affairs, University of Texas and his BA in Photojournalism from the University of Texas.
