RAWtalk Episode #106: An interview with the first Photographer I ever looked up to, Bruce Bennett

Published: Oct. 20, 2014, 3:46 a.m.

My first official photography class was in 1997 when I was in 10th grade. \xa0I recall a rack of photography magazines being near the teachers desk and one magazine always caught my attention. \xa0On the cover was this Einstein looking guy holding a really cool \u201cwhite\u201d lens standing on the ice in front of the net. \xa0The photographers name was Bruce Bennett and he has the destination of being the first photographer I ever looked up to. \xa0I consider him to the most recognizable photographer in NHL history. \xa0

There wasn\u2019t a week that went by where I read and re read the article in \u201cUnique Photo\u201d magazine where Bruce talked about being a hockey photographer. \xa0From that point on I knew I wanted to be a Hockey Photographer and that Bruce was the one I wanted to emulate.\xa0

Well this week I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing Mr. Bruce Bennett. \xa0The interview takes place on the Philadelphia Flyers bench at the Wells Fargo Center before the opening night festivities. \xa0This interview ranks up there with one of my favorite to this point. \xa0Bruce and I share a love for photography and hockey and you will hear us tossing around random hockey knowledge and facts. \xa0The interview starts at 32:23
