John Chong (BSKin' 88) took the location portraits of our three SFU students featured in A Tale of Three Campuses. He is a former student photographer for both SFWeek and The Peak and went on to complete a BFA in photography at Ryerson University. He currently divides his time between web design, editorial photography, and raising a precocious new daughter. <www.johnchong.com>

Mark Mushet, who shot our cover and feature portraits of Philippe Pasquier, has just returned to full-time image making after seven years of co-publishing Vancouver Review. He has been nominated for numerous still-life and portraiture awards, both regionally and nationally. Now the challenge is to decide which photo blog to update more frequently: < markmushetphotography.wordpress.com>
or <markmushetphotography.tumblr.com>
Gordon Price, director of the City Program (www.sfu.ca/city), looks at SFU's three campuses and their impact on the cities that host them. In 2002 he finished his sixth term on Vancouver city council. He also served on the Board of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and was appointed to the first board of the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority (TransLink) in 1999. <www.pricetags.ca/writings/The%20View%20from%2056.doc>
Sharon ProctorSharon Proctor wrote our cover feature on Philippe Pasquier. She is an independent science and technology writer with a PhD in biology from Stanford University. For more than 20 years she was in charge of the Vancouver Aquarium's education and interpretation activities. She now writes science and technology articles and has a book out on the history of North Vancouver: Time Travel in North Vancouver (Hancock House).

Ron Sangha created the portrait of director Kelvin Redvers. His multi-
cultural upbringing impels him to explore new cultures and perspectives with vivid colours and striking compositions. His work emphasizes a variety of human conditions and transforms real-life documentation into brilliant compositions. In his long and prolific career, Sangha has shot more than 100 magazine covers and has worked with some of Western Canada's top corporations. <www.ronsphoto.com>

Ron Wesman (BA'68) wrote our charter student reminiscence. He graduated with a double major in economics and commerce, held positions in labour economics with the federal government and energy economics with the National Energy Board, owned a junior department store franchise, and joined the financial sector as an investment advisor. He retired in 2011. Sailboat racing, practising bluegrass banjo, and studying Ukraine's history and its language are his eclectic interests. <r.wesman@wcteltech.net>
