Bio:
Gerry enjoys photographing almost all subjects – nature, landscape, travel – and particularly sports photography. He notes that the fast-changing action is always a challenge, and it’s very satisfying to get an image with peak action.
Gerry joined the Image Makers Camera Club in Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1975 and the Photographic Society of America (PSA) in 1979. His service to the Society has covered many positions, including PSA Wisconsin Chapter Chair, PSA Conventions Vice President, and PSA Secretary. In 2012 he received the prestigious PSA President’s Award. He was awarded PSA’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017 and received Honorary Fellow (HonFPSA) honors in 2018. In 2020 he received the Sophia Cheung PSA Volunteer of the Year Award. Gerry served on the PSA Board of Directors from 2003 to 2013 and served as a member of the PSA Executive and Finance Committees from 2009 to 2013.
Gerry is a multiple diamond exhibitor in four PSA Divisions – Projected Image, Nature, Photojournalism, and Photo Travel, with 15,100 acceptances (as of June 2024) in PSA-recognized international exhibitions, including 68 gold medal or best of show awards. He was awarded the Grand Master-Platinum distinction in 2023.
