Introducing Our Judge, Local Photojournalist, John Sheally

Will — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:50:04 +0000

We are thrilled to have local photographer John Sheally judging our photos this year. Here is how Mr. Sheally describes himself:

I have been a photojournalist all of my working life, having worked for the Hopewell News in high school for a diversified occupations class where you went to school for half a day and worked for the newspaper the other half. Then I spent four years in the United States Navy as a photographer in many countries. After that adventure, I worked as a wedding photographer for J. Etheridge Ward and as a commercial photographer for Frank Dimenti Studios, both in Richmond, then returned to my love of newspaper photojournalism for The Progress-Index in Petersburg for five years before moving to Virginia Beach, where I worked for The Virginian-Pilot for 37 years as a staff photographer. I have done three books on the Morgan Motorcars they being , MORGANS IN THE COLONIES, MORGANS: A BRITISH AFFAIR and THE RARE ONES: PETER MORGAN AND THE PLUS FOUR PLUS. These English sports cars are a hobby and I enjoy racing and restoring them .

In the last three years free lance journalism work is what I enjoy. Several more books and and works have been produced with a writer partner , Phyllis Speidell. Magazine features and commercial photojournalism are also part of the diet. other projects THE MILL ( about the Franklin paper mill that closed after 125 year of operation)has been published. Co work has been done on THE RIVER BINDS US, (about the vanishing Watermen of Crittenden/ Eclipse ) and in the works are a book on the Chuckatuck Community and one on the Nansemond Indians titled THE QUITE PEOPLE .
