Default Obit: Bob Gilka (NG Photo director from '63 to '85).


His main contribution was to focus on photography and turn NG away from
static photos to photojournalism showing subjects in a more realistic
way. To do this he was less than gentle, but made sure the
photographers were endowed with the most important bit of photographic
equipment: CASH.

QUOTE
He commanded both respect and fear. Outside his office, he posted a
sign admonishing visitors to wipe their knees before entering; near
his desk was a kneeler. Steve McCurry s compared a visit with Mr.
Gilka to Judgment Day.
