BIO Richard Gwin

Born in Pratt, Kan., in 1950, graduating from Pratt High School 1968.

Attended Pratt Community Junior College and Kansas University, majoring in Fine Arts and worked through the Photo Journalism sequence.

Before joining the Lawrence Journal-World since college, now serving as senior photographer, worked for the Hutchinson News and the Wichita Eagle.

I have several hobbies that keep me busy either working in a garden in the summer months to building by current house, and when I don't have anything else to do I am building a 1949 English Ford called a Anglia. There's all ways another trip to Cuba where for the last 19 years I've traveled and written stories and thousands of photos.

I have been a photographer for the Journal-World for 30 years, and attribute a lot of my success to the people of Lawrence that I've photographed, getting ideas and becoming part of the community.
