Behind the Headlines

One of the many strengths of the Herald-Leader newsroom is
its outstanding staff of photojournalists, led by Visuals Editor Ron
Garrison. Two staff photographers have
been honored recently:

Janet Worne has received one of two full scholarships to attend
a week-long seminar, “Publishing the Photographic Book,” at the prestigious
Santa Fe Photography Workshops in New Mexico. The seminar will be taught by renowned
National Geographic photographer Sam Abell (who also happens to be a University of Kentucky graduate) and Leah
Bendavid-Val, editorial director of National Geographic photography books.

Mark
Cornelison has been selected by Photo District News to represent Kentucky in its annual 50 States, 50 Photographers special issue. Photo District News is
an award-winning monthly magazine for professional photographers, covering
photography news and analysis, interviews and portfolios of the latest
photographic work. See last year’s 50
States, 50 Photographers issue.

You
can see more of Mark’s and Janet’s work at the Herald-Leader photo site.
