Our SCPS/MoPA lecture for June features three Union-Tribune photographers: K.C. Alfred, Nelvin Cepeda & Howard Lipin June 21, 2012

K.C. Alfred has been a staff photographer for the Union-Tribune for 11 years. During that time he has photographed everything from surfing dogs to Presidents of the United States. During his career, he has photographed the four Olympic games, the RNC and DNC political conventions, the 2003 and 2007 wildfires, and countless Padres, Chargers, and other sporting events. Prior to the U-T, K.C. worked at the Ventura County Star where he photographed all things L.A. ranging from celebrities to earthquakes to Lakers championships. Howard Lipin has been a staff photo-journalist at U-T San Diego for more than 25 years and has photographed just about every type of assignment that has shaped San Diego County and Southern California. Howard has photographed the largest wildfire in California history, just about every President in or out of office since Richard Nixon, the X-Prize flights of SpaceShipOne, and several space shuttles on their return to earth. Recently, Howard completed his latest project, "Composers," a year long, six-part profile of the world-class music composers at UCSD. Nelvin Cepeda has been a staff photographer with the Union-Tribune for more than 10 years. His assignments have included covering such major news events as the Super Bowl, Los Angeles riots, RNC and DNC Political conventions, Million Man March, and Hurricane Katrina. Nelvin has made eight trips to Iraq and Afghanistan to photograph the conflicts since 9/11.
