Ryun Advises Campers

One of the unexpected pleasures of camp for the journalists was their recent lecture on the topic.
Ryan recently returned from the Olympic trials in Eugene, Ore., where he won the right to represent the United States in the summer Olympics in the 1500
Besides being an outstanding athlete, Ryum has a great interest in photojournalism. The subject of his lecture was sports photography.
Ryun stressed the importance of timing and scheduling and he said one should never bother an athlete just before he participated in his event, for even athletes
deserved some time to themselves. He also said one should be prepared for anything to try to obtain a more varied view of a book and need of taking the stereotyped pictures.
Ryn was able to present the facts and problems on both sides of the lens, something that is becoming more and more difficult to do in our complicated society.
One journalist, Vicki Harting, summed up Ryun's lecture quite well: "When he talked with us about taking track pictures, you could really tell he'd been on both sides. He was really a 'voice of experience.'"
