This exhibition presented a dramatic look at life in the tri-state area from 1993 to 2005 documented by photojournalists from Dubuque’s consummate local newspaper. Area residents remembered many of these moving images but for new generations, newcomers, and visitors the images revealed the vibrancy of Dubuque, then and now.
Curated by Mr. Mark Hirsch of the Telegraph Herald, he explained, “As I selected photographs for this exhibition, I sought feedback from the many staff photographers and interns I have worked with over the last 15 years. Some of the selections were their personal favorites; others are included because they elicited a smile, sparked a laugh, or poignantly captured the ‘moment.’ The common denominator is the photograph’s ability to communicate information while transcending cultural and language barriers. That is photojournalism.”
