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.

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.
