Jonathan Newton MaryAnne Golon William Snyder

Jonathan Newton is entering his 25th season as a professional photographer.  He joined the staff of The Washington Post in summer 2000. He started out at the Nashville Banner in 1986 fresh out of Western Kentucky University. After a little more than a year at the Banner, he moved to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where he spent 10 years shooting assignments that included the Atlanta Braves. He joined the St. Petersburg Times in 1998 when the town landed an expansion baseball team. 

A Louisville native and the youngest of eight children, Newton worked many jobs after high school, including apple picker in Canada, kitchen cleaner at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park, aluminum siding installer, liquor store clerk, pot washer at a Jewish deli, fish fryer, house painter and busboy. It was as a student at Jefferson Community College that he got his first taste of newspapers, shooting pictures for the weekly student publication. With $300 saved from his busboy job, he went to a downtown Louisville pawnshop and bought his first professional camera equipment. 

Newton has covered almost every major sporting event in the world: the Olympics in 1996 and 2008; the Kirkwall Ba in Scotland, in 2007; four World Series; six National League Championships; six NCAA Final Fours; the Kentucky Derby; the Preakness; several heavyweight title bouts in Las Vegas; college football championships; the Super Bowl; and countless high school sporting events. 

Newton’s awards include the Morris Berman NPPA Citation; White House News Photographers Association awards; Baseball Hall of Fame photo contest; first place in the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors sports competition; and three-time Georgia Photographer of the Year.

He lives in Maryland.

MaryAnne Golon is an independent photography editor and professional media consultant.  She is currently the consulting Director of Photography and Multimedia for AARP in Washington, DC.  She is a key member of the core team who developed the visual “look and feel” of the largest U.S. association’s completely redesigned website.

Golon was Time magazine’s director of photography through 2008 and co-managed the international newsweekly’s photography department for +15 years. While there, Golon led the photo team that produced the Hurricane Katrina special edition and the September 11, 2001 special black-bordered edition that each won coveted National Magazine Awards for single-issue topics. Golon received numerous individual and team picture editing awards from the POYi (Pictures of the Year International) and NPPA’s (National Press Photographer’s Association) Best of Photography competitions.  Communication Arts, Society of Publication Designers, and American Photography recognize her work. She was twice selected for American Photo magazine’s list of the 100 most important people in photography (#10 and #8).

Golon was the on-site photography editor for Time and Life magazines during Gulf War I in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. She was directly involved in the production of scores of award-winning Time covers and special editions. She coordinated Time’s photo coverage of the Olympic Games for more than a decade.

William Snyder, Four-time Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and editor William Snyder teaches Photojournalism at the Rochester Institute of Technology – his alma mater – after working at The Dallas Morning News for 25 years.

As Director of Photography, he guided the photography staff to the 2006 Pulitzer Prize in Breaking News for their coverage and produced “Eyes of The Storm”, 256-page book published by Taylor Trade featuring DMN photo staff’s work from hurricanes Katrina and Rita which has sold 15,000 copies.

In the 17 years he was a staff photographer, he covered many diverse assignments, including the first democratic elections in Haiti and Romania, the ’91 coup attempt in the Soviet Union, hunger in Dallas, MLK streets across the US, AIDS orphans in Romania, AIDS in Uganda and Thailand, illegal immigration in Russia and the Czech Republic, and various professional and collegiate sporting events. During that time he won three Pulitzer Prizes.

He began shooting photographs for The Gleaner in his hometown of Henderson, KY at the age of 14. He rode his bicycle to his assignments or his mother drove him.

In 1994-1995 he was the Dan Burke Fellow for the University of Michigan’s Professional Journalism Fellowship program where he studied African-American history and Eastern European/Russian History.

He has lectured in Romania, the Czech Republic, and numerous universities and professional symposiums across the US.

His freelance clients include Time, Life, Sports Illustrated, Computer Reseller, Allstate Insurance Co., New York Times Sunday Magazine, Pinnacle Sports Cards and the rock group, The Who.
