P HOTO G R A P HE R A former newspaper staffer and Northern transplant, Queeney is an independent photojournalist based in Raleigh. Between assignments, you can usually find him hanging out with his dog Sully. “Last month I had the opportunity to tour Wake Tech’s Perry Health Sciences Campus with the incoming president Dr. Scott Ralls. Watching Dr. Ralls’ ease with students, professors and administrators, it struck me that the community college will be in good hands moving forward. Also, who knew that dental assistants had so much fun?!”
Giglio covers sports for The News & Observer and first started working at the paper in 1995. He lives in Garner with his wife and two sons.“In 25 years of interviewing athletes of all ages, I can honestly say I haven’t talked with many who are wired like Akshay Bhatia. There is a determination and focus there that goes well beyond his 17 years. I don’t know if he will make it as golf’s next great phenom. but I know it won’t be for a lack of effort.”

P HOTO G R A P HE R In January, Karp left New Jersey after a 30-year career to relocate to Cary with his wife. “Photographing The Green Chair Project brought many memories of my work in New Jersey, and the inspiring people whose stories I love to tell. I visited Johnnie Thomas, a client of Green Chair at his home to photograph him. Johnnie is also photographer and after our shoot, we talked for almost an hour about photography and family. I’ve been amazed at the kindness of the people I’ve met down South, giving you the feeling that you’ve know them your whole life. I love my new home and look forward to telling many wonderful stories of the people of Raleigh.”

Ewen wrote this month’s profile on Wake Tech’s new president Dr. Scott Ralls. “Wake Tech is a gem in our community, and Dr. Ralls will help it shine even brighter. I had no idea what an impressive powerhouse we have in all corners of our county. Dr. Ralls is a bright, energetic leader with equal parts charisma and drive, and I’m confident he will be both a powerful and empowering leader.”
