Michael A. W. Evans, Ronald Reagan.

ATLANTA, GA.-Newspaper, magazine and White House photojournalist Michael A. W. Evans, 61, died on December 1, 2005, reported Peter Junker from the National Press Photographers Association. Peter Junker wrote: The child of a Canadian diplomat and a registered nurse who were stationed in Havana during the Cuban revolution and Capetown, South Africa, during the quickening of the apartheid resistance, Evans took an early interest in political philosophy and world events. Among his peers Evans was highly regarded as a complete photographer, with mastery of a broad range of assignments, including daily news, portraiture, documentary photography and sports. To the larger world, his best known shots are the iconic images of presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, begun on assignment for Time magazine in 1975, and, later, his revealing record of life and politics behind the scenes of the Reagan Administration.
Evans photojournalism career began in Ontario at the Port Hope Evening Guide in 1959, when he was 15. They paid me two dollars for a photograph and ten cents an inch for the stories I wrote on the [school] football games, Evans said. I wrote very long stories. Evans joined NPPA in August, 1965."
