 ASP President's Message
It am excited and humbled to be elected as President of the American Society of Photographers. It is indeed an honor to represent you, and I will do my best to serve you well.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my thirty-three years as a full time professional photographer is the friendships that I have made with photographers from across our nation and around the world. These friendships were made as we worked side by side to make our photography associations operate and thrive. The American Society of Photographers is the most elite of these organizations. I have been privileged to associate with some of the most acclaimed photographers in the world through my involvement in the ASP. And on top of this, I have been allowed to become President of this association. I will accept this responsibility and give it all I have.
It is such a privilege to serve on the ASP Board with the great men and women that you have elected. In the years that I have served on this board, I have seen the ASP come to life with the addition of new programs like the ‘Friends of ASP’, the additional Medallion Awards, the ‘Best of the Best’ presentation and the Distinguished Print Ribbons given to ASP Images scoring 80 or above at State and District Competitions. I look forward to working with this group of visionaries toward our goal of making the ASP all that it can be.
The ASP is more than a great Board of Governors. The organization is made of a wonderful group of photographers from around the world. You, the members of the ASP are indeed the best photographers in the world. This year 2/3 of the PPA International Loan collection images were created by members of the American Society of Photographers. Wow. You really are the best.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to serve as president of the ASP.
