After 30 years as the chief photographer for Georgia Southern College and then University, Frank Fortune is moving into retirement.  Don’t count on him slowing down any.  Frank has photographed every cover of the Statesboro Magazine since it began 10 years ago.  He is one of the best know commercial photographers in the south.  Even though he is “MUCH OLDER” than me – we have worked together my entire professional career in photography.  I have always admired and respected his work.  Frank has been the photographer that I have personally counted on for all the major events in my life – just like many of you depend on me.  He photographed my high school Senior portraits, mine and DeWayne’s wedding and even traveled very early in the morning to Savannah to photograph the arrival of Edie Grace.

Likewise, I photographed his wedding, his children and other important life events for him.  Frank has been and continues to be a great mentor, friend and one of a few “go to guys” that I count on often.

Just because Frank is moving to another phase in his life – don’t expect him to disappear.  You will continue to see incredible things from this wonderfully talented photographer.  But we also should keep his wife Mandy in our thoughts.  It will be an adjustment for her – having Frank around more often.
