The Annie Krause Scholarship goes each fall
to a University of Colorado student in honor of Annie who
had been a member of the workshop staff for more than 20
years. A fine photographer who specialized in the outdoors,
winter sports and nature photography living in Boulder, Co.,
Annie lost her long battle with cancer in the summer of 2006. |

The Bobby Model Scholarship is granted by
the Model family for the Fall Summit workshop. Bobby Model
came to the first Summit Workshop as a student from the University
of Wyoming where he combined his photography with climbing
-- and soon became a world class freestyle climber. At the
workshop, he met Chris Johns, then a National Geographic
photographer, who asked Bobby to accompany him as an assistant
on stories in Africa. Bobby's photography progressed to the
point he was doing National Geographic assignments, did an
internship with Rich Clarkson and Associates, managed major
Himalayan climbs -- and returned to the Summit on the faculty.
He brought not only many talents but a great personality
and commitment to excellence.
Two summers ago while on assignment
in South Africa, he was seriously injured when a large stone
was thrown through the windshield of his car. Two years of
major brain operations and slow recuperation was progressing
and he was returned to his Cody, Wy. home almost a year ago.
American Photo magazine did a major story on his career and
pictures in the July issue. Then in September of 2009,as
he was slowly getting better, a sudden and unexpected cardiac
arrest ended it all. At the memorial service in Cody a month
later, more than 1,000 friends were in attendance. |
