1st Place Portrait/Personality Jake Stevens, WKU Injured Marine Justin Reynolds is surrounded in prayer by family members and Assistant Chaplin Terry Ginther, of Leipsic, Ohio. “Prayer is the only thing we’ve got,” said Ginther. Reynolds, who served two tours of duty in the Iraq War was honorably discharged in 2006 after his Humvee was hit by a roadside bomb, filling his legs with shrapnel. Doctors believe a virus contracted after his injures infected his brain, leaving Justin disabled but aware.

With a slumping economy and an uncertain future for journalists, the KNPA weekend is a chance to visit with old friends and rekindle new relationships. There is a camaraderie between photojournalists that keeps us going. Don’t miss this opportunity to recharge your batteries and see the best photojournalism in the state.
Please pass this email on to any photographers, both students and professionals, and encourage them to attend. Also, if you are receiving this email once or twice or do not wish to be on the list, let me know and our apologies. We are working to drum up excitement about one of the best seminars in the country.
