The "Photos From A Real Pro As Well As Good Friend" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Looking back over a few of my favorite stories when I came across a story about Dan Marscha who was one of the finest newspaper photographers in Lancaster County.  Got to know him over the years when he was a

Photo of my wife and cat taken by Dan

regular speaker for my photography class at Manheim Township High School.  Well, I recently had his name pop up when I was typing a story for my blog and thought I would click on the link that had appeared on my desktop.  Sure enough...there was an exhibit of photo after photo that Dan had taken for the newspaper as well as for himself while on vacations.  My all-time favorite happened to be one that he took of my wife holding one of our cats that appeared in the morning newspaper.  Began to search a bit more and came up with a site that featured many of Dan's best photos.  I'm hoping that Dan won't mind that I will feature some of those photographs in my story today.  Perhaps you might have seen one or more of them if you subscribe to the Lancaster newspaper, but just in case you don't live in the Lancaster area, what you will see is the artwork of one of Lancaster's all-time best photographers...Dan Marscha!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

The following photos are just a few of Dan's photographs.  Most come from the Lancaster Newspaper.
