Having photographed such
events as the summer and winter
Olympics, Superbowls, NBA
championships and the World
Scries, Clackamas journalism
instructor Max Gutierrez has a
lifetime of experiences and a
world of knowledge to share.
Gutierrez started teaching at
Clackamas four years ago, having
majored in photography at City
College of San Francisco and
busfness administration at San
Francisco State
University.
Initially, Gutierrez was intro­
duced to photography while in
thelarmy, where he worked for
thepublic information office
taking publicity photos.
After returning from the
army in 1956, Gutierrez was
hired
at
United
Press
International (UPI) as a staff
photographer and bureau man­
ager; a position he held for 32
years. UPI, as well as other wire
services
including
The.
Associated Press, is an organiza­
tion to which The Oregonian
and other local newspapers sub­
scribe and receive stories and
photographs of relevance to
their readership.
“If something’s happening in
Iraq and there’s an Oregon sol­
dier involved, UPI will go there,
cover the story and .send it back
to all the subscribers in
Oregon,” Gutierrez said.
Throughout his career with
UPI, Gutierrez was .constantly
reminded of the importance of
communication, availability and
patience.
“What some people can’t
understand, is that with any
media, communication is num­
ber one,” he said. “You’ve got to
communicate.”
Once, while on an assignment
covering a conference with First
Lady Pat Nixon in Oregon, a
second
photographer
was
assigned simultaneously to cover
President Nixon in Wyoming. At
the last minute, the photogra­
pher assigned to the president
became ill and Gutierrez was
