We are grateful to you both for your inspiration, dedication, and passion...

- Regarding John Chua and Harvey Chua- It is with great sadness that I relay the news that renowned photographer John Chua has passed away. He has not only inspired talented young photographers in his home country of the Philippines but he instituted many advocacy groups which, among others, serve children with special needs and persons with disabilities, indigenous people, and people yearning to follow their passion. John, you will be dearly missed but never forgotten. His loving wife and business partner needs our support through these tough times. We must remember to celebrate his accomplishments by reaching out, in our own unique ways, to help others each and every day…

… AND NOW HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES:

John and Harvey Chua with Tony Luna during a visit to Art Center in 2010.

- John Chua and Harvey Chua-

(The following is an excerpt from the Inquirer.net article by reporter Jhesset O. Enano on the life of beloved photographer John Chua:
“One of the country’s leading figures in photography, Chua passed away on Jan. 6 after a long battle with colon cancer. His ashes were interred at Heritage Memorial Park. He was 69. A self-taught photographer whose career spanned over four decades, Chua was considered a pillar in different genres of photography, including advertising, industrial and aerial work, and earned the moniker ‘Magic Eye.’”

Mrs. Harvey Chua wrote the following: ‘Thank you. We’re continuing to be showered with love from so many people who loved John.

We will continue to do his advocacies, and put up exhibits of his photos - on the Ifugaos and the famed Banaue Rice Terraces, his aerial photos plus photos of his cross-country ultralight flight, his advertising works, and of activities he did for special children and persons with disabilities.

As a self-taught photographer (he only finished high school), he was very impressed with your school. He appreciated the help that you extended to me when I started teaching “Business of Photography,” and “Marketing Strategies for Photographers…”

G-nie, our photographer who has been with us for 25 years, will continue with Adphoto. I hope to continue sending updates on Adphoto and G-nie’s works. I hope to continue receiving updates from you.

Best regards,”
Harvey

(Editor’s note: The following is a correction to the article in last month’s Tony Luna Creative- Update announcing a new Game Design Track offered through the ArtCenter degree program and not through the ArtCenter at Night/Public Programs. Please accept apologies for any misrepresentation.)

- Dana Walker, Managing Director, Public Programs- “Hi Tony, Happy New Year! Just wanted to clarify one item that was in the recent TLC Update: The new Game Design program is not offered through ArtCenter at Night/Public Programs – this new track will be offered through the College’s full-time Bachelor’s degree program (part of the Entertainment Design program.)

Best,”
