TOPEKA (WIBW)--- A world renowned photographer
returned to his old stomping grounds and shared a bit of wisdom with the next
generation of journalists.
Jim
Richardson spoke tonight at the Kansas Scholastic Press Association's Fall
Conference.
Richardson
grew up in Rossville where he developed his love photography at a young age.
His 1979
photo essay on high school adolescence is used in college classrooms.
He's also
photographed more than 30 stories for national geographic and traveled to over
80 countries, but says each story has a common thread.
"I
basically go around the world shooting the same pictures that I shot when I was
out of Rossville High School or in Cuba, Kansas another place that I
photographed a lot. It's still human life, the basics of our living and that's
pretty much the same wherever you go in the world," Richardson said.
Richardson was named Kansan of the Year in 2007 by the Native Sons and
Daughters of Kansas.
