But he wasn’t there as an oil worker or farmer, the two main sources of employment for people in Hamilton. He came to photo graph their daily lives, and in the process, he used about 125 rolls of film. “The community didn’t have a hotel, so I stayed in a town called Eureka, 20 miles away. Lisa (Austin, the reporter who wrote the accompanying story) lived on the main street in a trailer home,” Sartore said. Sartore, a 1985 graduate of the University of Ncbraska-Lincoln, won the 1987 Inland Daily Press Award for his photo essay called “Holding Onto Home.” He was also named Photographer of the Year in Region 7, which covers four Midwestern states, and was chosen asonc of five candidates for the Pulitzer Prize in feature pho tography. Rich Clarkson, former National Geographic photo chief and a freelance photographer for Life and Time magazines, was one of the judges at the Oct. 26 Inland Daily Press Award Annual Con vention in Chicago. He described Sartore’s 37 winning photographs as being “full of (Henri) Cartier Bresson-like moments.” “When someone says that, it means that it captures the moments that arc so fleeting in life,” Sartore said. Sartore ’ s photograph s appeared first in a feature series for five consecutive Sundays this year in the Wichita (Kan.) Eagle-Beacon, reaching about 175,000 people each week. He was chosen for the Inland Award from 1,050 other news photographers. His photos have since appeared in the National Press Photographer Association’s monthly magazine. His photos show “not only the hard times, but the love and comrade ship of the people,” he said. “To be compared to Cartier Bresson is the highest compliment that can be paid a photographer,” said Julie Dean, assistant photogra phy instructor at UNL, who as sisted Sartore in a photography class. Sartore started shooting pic tures and writing for the Daily Nebraskan in December 1982, and then interned as a photojournalist for the Wichita Eagle-Beacon the summer before his senior year. During his senior year he was photo chief of the Daily Nebraskan and then was asked back to the Wichita paper. Sartore said, “The way I figure it, the more time you pul into something, the better the results. I would have missed probably 50 percent of the best shots I had last year had 1 not been putting the extra hours in.” He is quick to thank his boss, Steve Harper, for giving him some freedom. In a bigger paper, he’d be just another photographer, but in Wichita he gets a chance to do a lot of things, he said. “Only about half of the work I do is actually assigned,” he said. * jkggn !

That’s why the nearby Army Reserve makes so much sense to students. After completing Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training, you serve one weekend a month (usually two 8-hour days, so SatunJay and Sunday evenings are yours). And you earn over $80 a weekend to start. You go to two weeks of annual training at full Army pay If a part-time income could help, stop by or call: 475-8561 or 483-2221 in Lincoln BE ALL YOU CAN BE.
