Well since Mike Borland was soliciting entries for their 2012 NPPA Best of Photojournalism contest, I figure I’ll pull out a random selection of work shot by Murray Alvey the year he won the very first NPPA…well what was called “Newsfilm Photographer of the Year” back in 1954 for the amusement of my readers.
- 1954 – Ike Makes Movies Of His Penn. Farm
- 1954 – World’s First Heliport Opens For ‘Copters
- 1954 – Thousands at Marian Rally Pray for Peace
- 1954 – Rain Washes Out Greeting for Massey
- 1954 – Ike Presents Nation’s Top Air Awards
Alvey worked for Pathe News from 1931-1964 and then ABC News from 1964 until his retirement in 1982.
