Key Personnel of the Ganzel Group

• Bill Ganzel, executive producer, photographer, writer, editor. I have over 30 years experience as a print and media production, and I'm currently president and principal of the Ganzel Group Communications, Inc. Before that I was an executive producer with the Nebraska Public Television Network for 27 years. My television documentaries and series have won national awards and have been broadcast by stations nationwide through PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service. My fine art photographs have been exhibited at galleries around the world and the work is included in the permanent collections of several art museums.
       Currently, I am working on the multimedia project, Sixties Survivors. For this project, I'm tracking down some of the same people who were first photographed and profiled in LOOK Magazine during the pivotal historical decade of the 1960s. When I find them, I'm producing my own contemporary still photo portraits, oral history interviews and documentary video segments. A demonstration Web site is up at SixtiesSurvivors.org.
       In my book, Dust Bowl Descent (University of Nebraska Press, 1984) I tracked down some of the same people and places first photographed during the Great Depression by the photographers of the Farm Security Administration (FSA). The book was favorably reviewed by The New York Times, Christian Scientist Monitor, New Yorker, American Photographer and many newspapers. My full résumé is here.
