Note: William (Bill) Truran '75 (GAP) writes he is grateful to be still shooting full time as a food photographer even though he is 65. Bill is grateful because he have always loved what he have done. There is nothing better than making money with a camera. All of his clients have become friends so shooting is not only fun, but the comradery is wonderful and his friends send him money in exchange for images. Thank you RIT. You helped get him where he is today. Fifteen years with studios in NYC, 15 years within Nabisco and Kraft Foods and 15+ back on his own. It has been and still is great! It was great to meet Dr. Tood S. Jokl at the Photo show RIT meet-up. Go go go photo students!
