Two years ago, I traced Hemingway’s Bull Trail around Spain. Three years ago I shot Bull images in Durham, North Carolina. Thirty Years ago my Bull Crusade began in Guatemala, Central America.
Since becoming a member of American Image Press in 1994, my experiences have embraced photography exhibitions, book publications, and adventures beyond words.
As a lifetime member of IFPO, I have enjoyed the ease of access my IFPO press credentials provide me. My press credentials have allowed me access all over the world in pursuit of this goal, as well as for my silver winner, non-fiction book, Embracing New China: Uncensored Images of People, Growth and Change. When working, I proudly display my IFPO credentials, which enhance my credibility as a photo journalist.
With my press card and the right instructions from IFPO, my self-funded travels to accomplish my goal have taken me to China, Spain, Russia, Panama, Mexico, Guatemala, Japan and throughout the United States. I’ve exhibited my work in 14 countries and in 14 American states. – Aaron Vessup, Round Rock, TX IFPO Member since 1994
