She is also hosting Leica Akademie Workshop on August 29, where she will help photographers broaden their understanding of identity and how it affects their ability to capture other cultures and socio - political movements authentically. Additionally, Woolridge appeared at Tedx Maplewood in February, where she spoke about discrimination during medical emergencies, and sensationalism of trauma. Meanwhile, Paskova has continued to develop her personal project on all - female societies and photography on assignment for high - profile publications, such as the Washington Post, NPR, Wall Street Journal, Reuters and Getty Images.
Necessary Fictions launches in the US on September 1. Almost one year after receiving the inaugural LWFP Award, Cornwall is publishing a book based on her Award - winning Photo Project on American state - created realities. Selections from their respective photo projects are currently available for public viewing by appointment at Leica Gallery Boston. We had all remained good friends over the years and had seen many people come and go, both at Leica USA and Leica Gemany.Last year's Award honored photographers Debi Cornwall, Yana Paskova and Eva Woolridge as inaugural winners. Roger’s career advanced steadily through the years, ultimately becoming the president of Leica USA, with Ray being the VP. Needless to say, it always paid to be on good terms with the credit manager, Ray Tomaselli, whose boss was Roger! I would see Roger and Ray on my visits to HQ in New Jersey and at the PMA and Photokina trade shows.
By that time, Roger was the head of accounting at Leica USA. My acquaintance with Roger goes back to 1983, after I had opened up my Leica store with my father in the suburban Chicago area. I’m sure a lot of you remember the Tilt-All fondly. In speaking to Roger a few months ago about his pending retirement, he told me that his first job at Leica was to do an analysis on the Tilt-All tripod division. As Roger noted in his “farewell address” to the Leica community, he has been with Leica since 1974, at first as a Cost Accountant. This came to pass on July 1, 2020, after Roger had been with Leica for 46 years. In the last issue of Viewfinder, I mentioned that Roger Horn, long-time friend and President of Leica Camera USA was retiring.
