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. |
