Guest
Speaker:
Steve Loughlin introduced our guest speaker, Alan MacRae. Alan is a freelance
photojournalist and was a member of the Kiwanis Club of Laconia in the early
80’s.
Alan started his presentation with a 5 min. slide show of his trip to Alaska. After the slide show Alan told us a little bit about himself. Although his paid profession was previously law enforcement those that new him in high school wouldn't be surprised that he is now a freelance photojournalist. Alan said that he grew up taking pictures and always had a camera with him in High School. Alan has worked with all the area papers and even some national and international papers like the Washington Post and the London Times. Alan told a quick story about his trip to meet the Ed and Elaine Brown (the tax evaders from Plainfield, NH) and how he was allowed into their compound to take pictures. A slide show of that meeting can be seen by "clicking" here.
Next Alan showed a quick slide show of what he calls “The Stuff I Do Everyday.” It consisted of professional photo-shoots to coverage of local youth sports. Alan mentioned that covering youth sports is one of his favorite things to do. After fielding many questions about his work, including: who he works for, copy writing pictures and how he gets paid, Alan had to take off to cover a basketball game in Alton.
