Special guest speaker:  John Isaac, former UN photographer
 “The Pictures I Didn’t Take”

John Isaac worked for the United Nations as a photojournalist for over 20 years. Many of his assignments were in conflict and humanitarian crisis situations including the Israel/Lebanon conflict, the Vietnamese ‘boat people’ crisis, the Ethiopian draught, the Iran/Iraq conflict, and the humanitarian situations in Bosnia and Rwanda. After his retirement from the United Nations he became a wildlife photographer, continuing today to especially document threatened species like the tigers of India. 

John’s 45-year career has led to many national and international awards including Picture of the Year (1985), Professional photographer of the year (Photographic Manufacturers and Distributors Association, 1993), and the Lifetime Achievement award (2000) from the International Photographic Council. In 1991, the legendary Audrey Hepburn chose one of John’s photographs of her as one of her all time favorites for American Photo Magazine. In 1997 his exclusive photo of Michael Jackson’s first child Prince (1997) was featured in more that 350 international magazines.
