George Olson earned his merit badge for photography at the age of 13, but it took the encouragement of the town camera shop owner's son to really awaken his interest. As soon as he saw his first print appear in the developer, he was hooked. After working on his high school and college yearbooks, he moved on to work for the Topeka Capital-Journal and the Kansas City Star. In 1977 he moved to San Francisco and worked as a freelancer for many publications, including National Geographic, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Smithsonian and the New York Times. He also served as a freelance picture editor for the San Francisco Examiner, and many of the Day in the Life. He also did picture editing for many other book projects, including Christmas in America, Jews in America, Baseball in America, One Earth, and Planet Vegas. He has served on the faculty of the Missouri Photo Workshop, Photography on the Summit, and the Jackson Hole Workshop . He has also taught Photojournalism as an extension course for the University of California, Berkeley. He has worked at Sunset Magazine since 1995, and currently serves as their Travel Picture Editor. | Faculty Margaret O'ConnorDennis Dimick Melissa Farlow MaryAnne Golon Kim Komenich Bill Luster Geri Migielicz George Olson Randy Olson Lois Raimondo Staff Angel AndersonRandy Cox Jim Curley Seth Jayson David Rees Jeff Thompson Greg Tomlinson Becca Young Crew David Barreda |
