Legacy Explorer
Francis Gerard Konrath
Photographer - Photojournalist - Lead Instigator
Francis worked as a freelance photographer, preferring the title photojournalist as " every picture I take is a film in itself ". His work took him from the tops of the canal locks in Panama, to the rolling hills of Austria, and to the bustling streets of Barcelona. He established his credentials as a photographer, shooting pictures for publications such as the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Parent Magazine, eventually leading to his founding of a multi-media studio space in Forest Park, PULSE INC.
With years of practical experience in both photography and film, he began inspiring his two sons; forming them into thinkers and teaching them the creative process, often referring to it being like a person spinning plates on sticks: a complex state of concentration, that looks graceful and effortless.
Francis died in September 2022
