SUMMARY:Birds Doing Stuff\, a photo exhibit by Steve Jessmore
DESCRIPTION:The School of Media & Communication is delighted to host Steve Jessmore and an exhibit of his award-winning work\, “Birds Doing Stuff” in the Jody Richards Hall Gallery on the campus of Western Kentucky University March 4 – April 18.\n\nThis project aims at showcasing the beauty and fragility of a tiny slice of Torch River\, located in northwest Michigan\, which also happens to be the photographer’s front yard. What’s at stake for this river\, as for many other rivers that are lake tributaries\, is the symbiotic relationship between an ecosystem and its human stewards.\n\n\n\nMarch 4\n\n 	Opening Reception  |  6:00 PM  | Jody Richards Hall Atrium\n 	Public Presentation  |  7:00 PM  |  Jody Richards Hall Auditorium\n\nJRH Gallery Through April 18\n\n 	M-W: 9:00 am – 7:00 pm\n 	TH-F: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm\n 	Gallery is closed when WKU is closed\n\n\n\n\nIn 2020\, COVID left a void. Steve Jessmore’s work\, as many of us\, was put on hold. People weren’t able to do things – Jessmore included. His wife Brenda challenged him. “You need to use your talents. Do what you always wanted to do. Who knows how long this will last. Every day is a gift from God and you have to make the best of each and every one like it was your last\,” she said.\n\nReeds Lake\, East Grand Rapids\, Mich. Aug 9\, 2022\n\nIt took him a few months\, but he finally found his inspiration and direction. He bought a kayak and\, in his travels\, discovered ducks and other birds. After spending hundreds of hours and making thousands of images\, he believed he found what he had been looking for – Birds doing stuff.\n\nTurning a loss of freelance photography work and isolation from Covid to his advantage\, Steve Jessmore vowed to make this gift of time a learning experience. Mid-2020 he began making pictures of his new-found passion. Using his career photojournalism skills and storytelling roots\, Jessmore began capturing wildlife being wildlife and living their lives in the communities around him. Hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of photos later\, he gained confidence in the new craft he was learning. In 2021 less than a year after starting to photograph birds\, two of his images swept the professional division of the National 2021 Audubon Society’s photography contest\, winning 1st and honorable mention.\n\nFollowing his community roots as a photojournalist\, Jessmore has captured moments of wildlife nearly entirely in Michigan. He has photographed primarily near his Grand Rapids home and at their cottage on the Torch River. He believes there’s so much around him that he doesn’t need to chase the unusual to find satisfaction. “I love to create art in dynamic situations which feature wildlife moments in the communities around me’” he said.\n\n“I approach birds with the same ethics I’ve practiced in my photojournalism. I don’t make them fly\, bait them or try to intrude on their lives\, but rather let them be themselves. I am the casual observer creating images and making art.”\n\nJessmore’s hope is that his images can be a voice for the birds\, bringing awareness to these treasures that lives amongst us and how fragile the environment is. He would like us to take notice and realize we need to be stewards. We can enjoy our time among them\, but realize we need to take care and preserve their habitat and our resources so we can all continue to live side by side.\n\nYou can support Jessmore and help continue this important work here.\n\nSTEVE JESSMORE BIO\nSteve Jessmore\, of Alto\, Mich.\, has been a photographer his entire life. Known for his community and storytelling focus\, he was a 35-year photojournalist working as chief photographer/Director of Photography for the Flint Journal\, The Saginaw News and the Myrtle Beach Sun News.  He’s won numerous Michigan\, national and international photojournalism awards and has been named a five-time Michigan Photographer of the Year and Robert F. Kennedy Photojournalism awardee. He also was staff photographer for his alma mater Central Michigan University for five-years.\n\nIn August of 2018 Jessmore stepped away from Central Michigan University\, got married and moved to Grand Rapids. He began freelancing full time for colleges and universities which he continues to do.\n\nSteve Jessmore\n\nWhen his freelance work was put on hold in 2020 due to Covid pandemic Jessmore struggled to stay busy. He set a goal to be constructive with his time\, learn something new and set out to improve his photography. That experiment led him on a path to becoming an avid outdoor photographer with a love for all wildlife- but especially birds.\n\nIn 2021\, two of his bird images swept the professional division of the National 2021 Audubon Photography contest\, winning 1st and HM. He won another first place in the 2022 national contest- The Fisher Prize for the most creative approach to photographing with his image “Feeding Frenzy” featuring Norther Shoveler ducks. This image also graced the cover of the Audubon’s summer awards issue magazine. His 2021 winning “Northern and Cardinal in Flight” is also featured on the official National Audubon 2023 membership card.\n\nJessmore’s and his avian photography has been featured/published on WCMU’s Discover Michigan\, NPR Stateside\, WOOD-TV 8\, M-LIVE and ABC On Your Side. He’s been published in National Audubon Magazine\, The Smithsonian\, Ducks Unlimited and Cornell Lab of Ornithology annual report. He’s had solo exhibitions of his art at the Baber Gallery at Central Michigan University\, The Saginaw Art Museum\, The Flint Art Walk\, and also at Saginaw Valley State University.

SUMMARY:Roommates: From Western to The White House
DESCRIPTION:Follow the life journey of two Western Kentucky University photojournalism students and see how they landed a career documenting the biggest election in a century\nWestern Kentucky University’s School of Media and Communication and The John B.

Their ambition to make a name for themselves in photojournalism was high as they worked their way through the strenuous rigors of academic life. After graduation\, they each went their separate way\, Botsford landing his first job at The Washington Post while Freeman cut his teeth as a freelance photojournalist and eventually a staff photographer for the New York City Mayor’s Office. \nBotsford has documented the Trump Presidency since the beginning\, capturing many of the iconic images that became highly discussed news revelations. For four years he reported daily to The White House providing some of the most comprehensive visual documentation of the Trump Presidency. In 2020\, Freeman was brought on as a staff photojournalist for The Washington Post. Botsford was assigned to document President Donald Trump and Freeman was assigned to cover Senator Joe Biden’s campaign for President. Following the 2021 Biden inauguration\, the two former roommates were back together again\, this time on Pennsylvania Avenue. \nBoth photojournalists will discuss their journey from Western to The White House and photojournalism\’s role in political news and its importance during an election year. Presidential campaigns are highly staged events\, and they will talk about finding a split second of reality in such high-pressure situations. \nA gallery exhibit of over 60 photographs\, will showcase their work spanning their career\, both in and out of the White House. The gallery will remain on display through April 19. \n  \nOur Guests\nJabin Botsford is a staff photographer at The Washington Post. \nHe is a graduate of Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green\, KY with a degree in photojournalism and sociology. \nJabin began his career at the Washington Post March 2015 and was assigned to cover Donald J.

SUMMARY:David LaBelle: “Bridges and Angels: The Story of Ruth” lecture
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe School of Media’s Photojournalism department would like to invite you and your students to come meet photographer\, author\, teacher\, motivational speaker and lover of life David LaBelle as he presents lessons he has learned in his 50-year career at a lecture presentation on the campus of WKU. LaBelle will reveal his emotional connection to the purpose and meaning behind why he wanted to share with the world the death of his mother in his 350-page recently released novel. It is a story that you will not soon forget. \n\n\n\n\”After many years or laboring with this story\,\” LaBelle said in a press statement\, \”my first novel is finally finished.  Though some suggested I write this as a memoir\, I resisted because I wanted to change history and give the story of my mother a different ending.   Since my mother’s body was never officially found or identified\, Bridges and Angels: The Story of Ruth is about what could have happened after her disappearance.  This 350-page book is fiction\, but much of it is nonfiction. I hope you find the story compelling.\”\n\n\nA recent testimonial about LaBelle’s speaking engagement said\, “His passion\, coupled with a genuine love of the human spirit comes across so blatantly and encourages others to go out in search of their own creative yearnings. I can think of nothing more refreshing than a master of photography who reminds us of the true heart behind this kind of work.”\n\n\n\n\nLaBelle\, an internationally known photographer\, teacher\, author and motivational speaker\, grew up on a frog farm in Oak View\, California\, exploring the creeks and hills with two sisters and two brothers and numerous dogs. He began his photojournalism career as a weekend sports-shooter and lab man at the Ventura County Star-Free Press in California while still in high school. During his 50-year career\, David has worked for a mix of 20 different newspapers and magazines. He has also worked at four universities across the United States\, which includes several years here at Western Kentucky University. \n• A WKU “swipeable” event and is free and open to the public. \n• Free parking is available in the Chestnut St. South lot after 4:30 PM. \n

SUMMARY:Muhammad Ali: A Rare Glimpse Into the Life of The Champ
DESCRIPTION:  \nGallery Show highlights “The Greatest\,” Images of Muhammad Ali from Courier-Journal Photojournalists \n\nGALLERY HOURS\nMonday – Wednesday: 9:00 – 9:00\nThursday – Friday: 9:00 – 5:00\nSunday: 1:00 – 9:00\nJody Richards Hall\n1665 Normal Dr.\nWKU Campus\, Bowling Green\, KY\n  \nMore than a dozen staff photographers for the Courier Journal documented Muhammad Ali’s rise to fame and his later years fighting a different fight\, Parkinson’s Disease. Celebrated as one of the greatest boxers of all time\, Ali (born Cassius Clay)\, was also an activist and a philanthropist. But it was his heavyweight career that made him one of the most famous sports figures of the 20th century. Ali remains the only three-time champion of that division. \n  \nCassius Clay was born in Louisville in 1942\, and it would be his home for his entire life\, his funeral procession rivaled royalty. He was dedicated to Louisville and Louisville was dedicated to him. This gave the staff at the Courier Journal special access to the boxer during high times as well as later in life when his feeble body still resonated the spirit of The Greatest. Photojournalists like Bill Luster\, C. Thomas Hardin\, Larry Spitzer and Keith Williams were there to capture it all. \n  \n“No matter what stage he was on\, how big it was\, if there was someone from Louisville there\, he’d always recognize you\,” said former Courier Journal columnist Billy Reed. \n  \nOn March 11th Western Kentucky University and the School of Journalism & Broadcasting will open a tribute to the photographs and photographers of Muhammad Ali. Picture: Muhammad Ali\, a hard cover book will be celebrated in a 50-photo exhibit at Jody Richards Hall. \n  \nA reception at the JRH Gallery will open the exhibition at 4:30 pm CST\, and comments from PSG Book Publisher Warren Winter will commence at 5 pm. There will be a roundtable in the JRH Auditorium at 6 pm\, moderated by book editor Pat McDonogh featuring Courier Journal photojournalists Keith Williams\, C. Thomas Hardin\, Bill Luster and Sam Upshaw\, Jr. All will be available for a book signing of Picture: Muhammad Ali. A portion of the sales will go towards a scholarship fund for WKU Photojournalism students. \n  \nThe exhibition and roundtable are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Bosnia and Herzegovina: Then and Now Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The School of Journalism & Broadcasting is excited to announce the opening of a photographic exhibition AND a documentary film screening. \n  \nWEDNESDAY\, JANUARY 31\nJody Richards Hall (MMTH) \n1666 Normal Dr. \nWestern Kentucky University \nBowling Green\, KY \nDIRECTIONS \n  \nGALLERY EXHIBITION OPENING RECEPTION\nJody Richards Hall (MMTH) Atrium: 6:00 pm \nLight refreshments will be served \n  \nBosnia and Herzegovina: Then and Now \nA Visual Exploration of a Country in Change \nOver 50 photographs by Lara Ciarabellini\, Amel Emric\, James H. Kenney\, Jr.\, Jose Lopez\, Matt Lutton\, Dijana Muminovic\, Roger M. Richards and Andy Spyra will be on display January 31 – April 13 exploring the people and places of Bosnia and Herzegovina since the start of the war in 1992 until today.  \n\nDOCUMENTARY SCREENING\nJody Richards Hall Auditorium: 7:30 pm \nSarajevo Roses: A Cinematic Essay \nDirected by Roger M. Richards \nThe film’s director Roger M. Richards\, an award-winning filmmaker and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominated photojournalist who was in Sarajevo at the height of the conflict and has witnessed and filmed its restoration on numerous returns––and who is thus uniquely positioned to share the tragedy’s impact on a great people and a very special place\, will lead a post-film discussion.  \nThe documentary screening\, presented by WKU’s International Year Of program\, is a WKU “swipable” event\, free and open to the public. No parking pass is required after 4:30 pm at the Chestnut Street lot just three blocks from JRH. DIRECTIONS \nFor more information\, please contact Tim Broekema at tim.broekema@wku.edu \n\nABOUT THE FILM\nWhat happens when a modern society implodes? \nImagine waking up to find society collapsed: stores shuttered\, electricity and water shut off\, no food or medicine\, neighbors become enemies and fighting in the streets. \nThat’s what happened in the city of Sarajevo\, only eight years after hosting the 1984 Winter Olympic games. \nThese are stories of Sarajevo: a surgeon turned psychiatrist to understand and heal his PTSD; a tuxedo-clad cellist playing for the dead at massacre sites; a young woman immortalized in a photograph as she flees a sniper’s bullet; and children struggling to survive in an or \nphanage near the frontline. \nWhen Josip Broz\, aka Tito\, the benevolent dictator of the federation of Yugoslavia\, died on May 4\, 1980\, nobody had an inkling of the bloodshed and ruin to come.  In early 1992\, a referendum on independence took Bosnia down the path to war. \nDuring the four-year siege of the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo\, the longest of the 20th century\, hundreds of thousands of artillery\, mortar and tank shells were fired into the city from the surrounding hills.  As each exploded\, it left a crater in concrete resembling a flower.  Citizens stoically painted these “pavement petals” red and called them “Sarajevoroses.”  Some remain today\, fading reminders of innocent blood that was spilled on these streets\, in this once all-embracing city.  The Sarajevo “rose” represents the impact of the war on the lives of these individuals and all citizens of Sarajevo. \nAt its heart\, “Sarajevo Roses” is a meditation on the search for inner peace and recovery after experiencing PTSD from the horrors of war; how the neighbor next door is capable of committing the most inhuman acts; and personal testimony that love\, and living fully in the present\, are the best we can hope for as human beings.  Important lessons for a troubled world. \n  \n \n  \nABOUT THE GALLERY EXHIBITION\nOn display January 31 – April 13 \nGallery Hours \nSunday  |  4:00PM – 9:00PM \nMonday – Thursday  |  9:00AM – 9:00 PM \nFriday  |  9:00AM – 5:00PM \nClosed when WKU is not in session \n  \nABOUT THE PHOTOJOURNALISTS\nLara Ciarabellini \nLara Ciarabellini is an Italian photographer currently shooting between Trieste (Italy)\, Sarajevo and Rio de Janeiro. She received a Master degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography\, at London College of Communication\, University of Arts\, in 2012. Her research “A visual comparison of Yugoslavian National Liberation War Movies” will be part of the Research Centre NAM at LCC. Ciarabellini’s work titled Bosnia: If chaos awakens the madness was a finalist in The Aftermath Project 2011 and work of hers has been exhibited at Nursery Gallery – London\, at Savignano OFF Festival 2013\, at AFFGallery – Berlin\, at Officine Fotografiche – Rome\, at National Scientific Library – Tbilisi\, and at The Library Project – Dublin\, Galerija Hran – Sarajevo\, Fodar Biennal – Pleven.Cariocas in Olympia has been exhibited at Kaunas Festival in Lithuania. \nAmel Emric \nPhotographer Amel Emric provides a uniquely intimate view into the lives of refugees fleeing ethnic cleansing in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Emric’s photographs from during the campaign of ethnic cleansing from 1992-1995\, when refugees were fleeing for their lives\, finding themselves in the most desperate situations with what few possessions they had saved\, are powerful reminders that give a very intimate insight into the lives of those caught up in the horrific events leading up to the worst atrocity on European soil since World War Two. \nJames H. Kenney\, Jr. \nProfessor James H. Kenney received his bachelor’s degree from California State University\, Fresno\, and his master’s degree from Syracuse University.

SUMMARY:Living On A Dollar A Day Gallery Reception and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Living On A Dollar A Day: The lives and faces of the world’s poor.\nBy Renée C Byer \nAn interactive photographic exhibit that inspires people to create change with compassion\, education and action.\nThursday\, February 16 \nOpening Reception: 6:00PM MMTH Atrium \nArtist Lecture: 7:30PM MMTH Auditorium \n  \nMMTH Gallery and Atrium \nFebruary 16 – April 28 \n  \nSunday  |  3:00PM – 9:00PM \nMonday – Thursday  |  9:00AM – 9:00 PM \nFriday  |  9:00AM – 5:00PM \n  \nABOUT\nLiving On A Dollar A Day: The Lives and Faces of the World’s Poor\, is a powerful and extraordinary series of photographs and profiles by Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer\, whose work illuminates the human faces of people who live in extreme poverty around the world. Traveling to 10 countries on four continents\, Byer sought out individuals and families on the brink of survival – living on about one U.S. dollar each day. \n  \nThe people in Byer’s compelling profiles share their hardships\, their joys\, and their dreams for the future with her. Often with little hope of changing their own destiny\, they dream of something better for their children. In her searing and tender images\, accompanied by stories shared by people whose trust she gained\, Byer gives voice to those who would not otherwise be heard. \n  \nBRING YOUR MOBILE DEVICE\nThrough her collaboration with A Fourth Act\, Renée aims to reinvent how we experience photo exhibitions by bridging the power of stories that build awareness and turn compassion and empathy into social action. By using an innovative mobile web app\, youbridge.it\, along with Renée’s photos\, the interactive photo exhibit can engage visitors to participate in an interactive and powerful experience that goes beyond raising awareness. \n  \nAs they walk through the gallery\, youbridge.it offers the photo exhibit visitors an opportunity to dive deeper into the issues behind the stories and makes tangible actions available at their fingertips. Byer’s photos are an emotional invitation to learn about the roots causes of extreme poverty and hunger\, and to take simple but concrete actions in 10 areas of social issues. A strong believer that positive change can happen; she encourages us to be part of it by shifting the language from problem-focused to a solution-oriented one. \n  \nTESTIMONY\n“This photography is inspirational\, and the reason I gave the money to the United Nations and to poverty fighting programs is [that] I’ve been all over the world and I’ve seen the hunger first hand. And it’s not a pretty sight\, and it makes you want to do something about it.” \n— Ted Turner\, on receiving the 2014 James C. Morgan Humanitarian Award \n  \nABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER\nRenée C. Byer is an award-winning American documentary photojournalist best known for her in-depth work focusing on the disadvantaged and those who otherwise would not be heard. Her ability to produce photographs with profound emotional resonance and sensitivity earned her the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography in 2007 and dozens of national and international honors\, including the World Understanding Award from Pictures of the Year International\, and Pulitzer Finalist in 2013. Byer’s internationally acclaimed book\, Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World’s Poor\, illuminates the stories of people living on the brink of survival\, and invites you to put an end to extreme poverty. \n  \nAn inspiring teacher and speaker\, Byer stirs audiences to see how unbiased photojournalism can raise awareness and affect change. Her compelling TEDx Tokyo talk\, “The Storytelling Power of Photography\,” received a standing ovation and can be viewed online. Valued for her critical insight\, she has served for eight years as a judge for the prestigious Days Japan International Photojournalism Awards.
