He planted his feet back on his home soil in August 2010 when he joined the staff of the Tulsa World.
Tulsa World photojournalist Stephen Pingry joined the newspaper in 1994 after graduating from the University of Kansas. During basketball season he shoots as much Big 12 basketball as he can so he can watch KU play while he is working. It’s a big bonus that goes with the job. Pingry has covered OU and OSU football every season since 1995 and OU, TU and OSU basketball every season since 1995. He has won several awards for his sports photography over the years.
Tulsa World photojournalist Michael Wyke began his newspaper career while attending college at Southwest Missouri State University in 1980. His first full-time photojournalism job was at the Lebanon Daily Record in Lebanon, Mo, in 1982. He joined the World in 1998. In between he worked for three other newspapers in Missouri and Oklahoma, including nine years at the Tulsa Tribune until it folded in 1992. Wyke also has freelanced for many other major editorial publications and news organizations including Time, Newsweek, Business Week, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, Washington Post, Dallas Morning News, Los Angeles Times, Reuters and the Associated Press.
Tulsa World photojournalist James Gibbard joined the Tulsa World in 2000. He moved here from Peterborough, England, where his career in photography began. Gibbard has traveled around the world taking pictures in places like Africa, Australia and the Middle East. As a student, he captured the first historic images of Prince Charles and Camilla making their first public appearance as a couple. Photographers from around the world staked out the London hotel for at least a week to capture the moment. Gibbard arrived five minutes before their anticipated appearance and got an award-winning photo.
Tulsa World photojournalist Cory Young joined the newspaper as a post-graduate intern reporter/photographer for the Midtown and East Community World sections one week after his May 2002 graduation from Langston University. Two months later, he was hired as a full-time Community World staffer. After five years of reporting, Cory was hired as a full-time newsroom photographer in March 2007. While in college, Cory used his non-school hours working as a reporter for five different newspapers throughout Oklahoma and Colorado, where he grew up.
Tulsa World photojournalist Matt Barnard joined the paper in early 2007 after graduating from Oklahoma State University's journalism and broadcasting program. His stay at the Tulsa World began with an internship in the photo department and then a job as a staff writer after graduation. His beat included mostly crime and public safety stories. He returned to the photography department in 2010.
Tulsa World photojournalist Mike Simons graduated from Union High School and went on to attend the University of Central Oklahoma receiving a bachelor’s degree in journalism/photographic arts in 1995. He worked at the Tulsa World from 1995-2000. During that time he was named Photographer of the Year by the Oklahoma Press Association in 1996, and received the Sweepstakes Award for photography by the Associated Press in 1996 and 2000. In 2000, he became a freelance photojournalist based out of Cincinnati. He worked for many national and international publications, but in 2006 -- after fighting homesickness for more than 5 years – he was able to return to Oklahoma and the Tulsa World. His passion is storytelling, and new advances in video cameras and online delivery have made it possible to tell people’s stories in a more comprehensive way than ever before.
Tulsa World photojournalist Garett Fisbeck studies photographic arts at the University of Central Oklahoma. He worked as photo editor for his school's student newspaper, The Vista, and has done photography and video internships with The Oklahoman.
