'Duke' D'Ambra Speaks Before Camera Club
"Duke" D-Ambra, free-lance photographer of Lawrence, who has had his pictures in papers and magazines all over the world, gave an Illustrated lecture on the life of a news photographer before the K. U. Camera club in the journalism building has it stated he is the stated subject matter whatever and can be sold if they pack the punch and are identified by a clear and concise caption. For illustration he passed out pictures of two University basketball players with the heading "Ball Hawks of the Jayhawks." He said those without trouble to the St. Louis Post-Democrat.
While speaking of cameras, Mr. D'Ambra stressed the idea that from a commercial viewpoint the miniature camera craze that has swept the country is by a passing fad, and will go the way of miniature golf and tennis. But the camera craze also large enough snaps for the average newsletter to enlarge.
When asked about the picture magazine "Life," he warned the amateur photographers against sending in pictures with the expectation of remuneration, because the magazine is flooded with pictures. This popular magazine has more pictures than it can print now, so way should it pay for any, was the basic idea of Mr D'Ambra's warning.
This glab is sponsoring the U. S. camera exhibit on display at present in Spooner-Thayer museum, and plans to present the American Annual of Photography in March. Any persons wishing to attend should ask to get asked to be in touch with Bob Russell, e38, president.
