Dave LaBelle (Francis Gardler)
This video is an excerpt from Francis Gardler’s Ohio University masters project on Dave LaBelle, one of his teachers from Western Kentucky University. The video features interviews with LaBelle and several of his students. Gardler is a former Photojournalist-In-Residence at Western Kentucky.
Labelle wrote the books  ”The Great Picture Hunt”, “The Great Picture Hunt 2″, “Lessons in Death and Life” and “I don’t want to know all the technical stuff…I just want to shoot pictures.”
“Life will teach you to be a good teacher. If you care, life will show you many, many examples. It will lay all the lessons right before you and all you have to do is bend over and collect these lessons and put them in some order and fashion and you can teach anybody.” – Dave LaBelle
