Lois Raimondo discovered her interest in photography as a student at the Missouri Photo Workshop. Originally a Master’s student in the University of Missouri’s Magazine Sequence she was invited to join the workshop in Kruthersville, because it had been the site of an investigative reporting piece she’d worked on. Armed with a camera body and two lenses she was inspired by the power of pictures to transform people’s perceptions of things including her own. Raimondo is now back for the 12th time as a member of MPW’s faculty. Initially a professor of comparative literature, Raimondo began her journalistic career as a researcher and sound technician for CBS News' Peking Bureau where she also acted as a translator during President Reagan’s 1984 trip to China. Her extensive experience in Asia includes opening AP’s bureau in Hanoi, and covering such major events as the earthquakes in Kobe, Japan and the 1997 Hong Kong handover. She spent eight years freelancing in places like Kashmir and Tibet under Marshall Law. Her documentary work in India, China, and Tibet, garnered her a year-long O. O. McIntyre Grant to complete a book on Tibet. Raimondo was a 1989 Pulitzer Prize finalist for an investigative reporting project on city-wide corruption in government owned housing projects in New York. In addition to being on staff at the Washington Post, Raimondo is working on the book, Time Bends, which includes words and picture essays out of Asia. | 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 |
