This is Chris's 14th MPW workshop, but his first one in 14 years.

He is the assistant director of photography at Dallas Morning News.

He remembers sitting up at night with Cliff Edom talking about photojournalism until 4 in the morning. "Those were probably some of the best memories of my entire life," he said. "I think David and Jim and Duane, and most of the faculty are all disciples of his."

Chris said that the beauty of the workshop is that "everything has changed so much, but the mission of the workshop hasn't changed one bit.
