…AND HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES…

Andrew Edelstein (c) 2022
- Andrew Edelstein, Photographer- “Hi Tony, Happy New Year!!
Long time since we touched base. I wanted to give you an update since I made a successful career transition and I feel pretty good about it.
To refresh your memory, After graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography, I started my 35yr career working in a service bureau making color separations for print ads and brochures. I went on to work as a print production manager in some of the great advertising agencies in Los Angeles like, TWBA\Chiat\Day, Team One, Saatchi and RAPP in the automotive sector. I spent the last 10yrs working for a small ad agency producing all the print and digital advertising as well as all the collateral for UCLA Health.
When COVID hit the UCLA business dried up and I was forced to look for other work. I found a job at another ad agency here in Los Angeles as a DAM (Digital Asset Management) manager. This came with new responsibilities but ultimately proved to not be very challenging. With the free time that I had, I created a presentation on how the agency and our clients would be better served if we produced our own custom photoshoots instead of using Getty stock. We could create a large image library that would be propriety and the cost per image would be much less that the cost of a Getty image. Agencies tend to move slowly so I was surprised when they bought into the idea! So far, I have produced two photoshoots for Blue Cross and for DirecTV with budgets over $850,000.00. 2022 is looking like it will be even bigger for this part of the business. More importantly, I am finding this kind of work fun and I have haven’t been happier in years.
In addition to the work I have been doing at the agency, I have also become a certified executive coach and started a MBA program.
I wanted to let you know this because I still use skills I learned in your class and this is proof.
All the best,”
Andrew

- Sharon Cavanagh, Photographer, Educator-
“Hello Tony, How are you? I thought I would like to give you an update of my photography life for the upcoming newsletter of the Creative Update email. Hopefully, I haven't missed it.
I am now in my second quarter of teaching an at-risk population of middle and high school students in the Monterey County region at a local charter school. I was previously on the board of directors as the Vice Chair for two years so I was able to see the school from the inside-out and appreciate their commitment to an individualized learning plan for the students. During covid, I volunteered to teach one (virtual) photography class as I was searching for another teaching opportunity. Since then, I've resigned from the board and I'm on track to earning a CTE qualification (Career Technical Education Credential). It's a two-year study commitment that upon graduation, will allow me to teach at any school - college or university - throughout California. The charter school is committed to offering their students alternative and unusual career paths that include photography, drone piloting and entrepreneurship business classes that will open up opportunities for this specific population. I feel incredibly grateful and fortunate to have 'found' this type of school. They are incredibly supportive in every way although, I haven't succeeded in talking the principal into buying (me) a Leica M11 just yet but I still have time.
Thank you for continuing to support the photography community.
Cheers!”
Sharon

Brian Biery (C) 2021
- Brian Biery, Documentary Photographer, Adjunct Professor-
“…My exhibit 'We Are All Neighbors' (was) displayed at Rosebud Coffee. The purpose of this project is to show that when people are provided with the appropriate supportive services and embraced by their community, they are then able to successfully recapture their essence and purpose. As a result, they experience lives filled with joy and fulfillment, and ultimately become valuable contributors to our society.”
(Notes from a flyer announcing a presentation by Brian Biery titled, “We Are All Neighbors in 2022” for the Southern California Planning Congress” on January 22)
“Whether the fallout from a capitalist and consumer-based economy, an uncaring political system that favors affluence, lack of public healthcare and affordable housing, stagnant wages that lead to poverty, or all of the above and more, a growing number of people face living on the street. Why is this an American phenomenon and do we reverse it? When provided with appropriate supportive services and programs, and embraced by their community as equals, citizens who were once unhoused are able to recapture successfully they essence and experience lives of joy and fulfillment. Ultimately, they become active community members and valuable contributors. As we begin a hopefully brighter new year, let us strengthen our commitment as planners to making more inclusive decisions about the future and broadening the collective definition of neighbor.“
Brian Biery, Pasadena Neighborhood Network; Adjunct Professor at Pacific Oaks College
Thank you!
Brian.
