 It
was after a six-week stint at the Louisville Kentucky’s Children’s
Hospital that Bill Luster’s photographic life took seed. He was 12,
and his first camera came as a gift from his parents after Luster completed
a growth hormone study. A graduate of Western Kentucky University, he went
on to inaugurate the Glasgow Daily Times photo department, by being their
first ever photographer. His latest photographic incarnation has spanned
33 years at the Louisville Courier-Journal, where he was Director of Photography
from 1997-2001, and is currently the Associate Photo Editor. He has twice
been recipient of the team Pulitzer Prize Awards. The 1976 award, which
also included photographs by Melissa Farlow, was for coverage of court ordered
busing, while the Courier-Journal’s1988 award was for a piece on the
nation’s worst drunken driving accident. Luster’s photographs
have appeared in Life, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, and the
New York Times Magazine. Although, Luster has never technically worked as
a jockey he has covered 38 Kentucky Derbies. |
