This is the second time IMAGINE has featured Brian Heller as our cover story. The first time was in May 2000. In that issue Chris Kriofski wrote the following: “Photography has always been a hobby for Heller, but in high school, he says it quickly developed into a passion. At that time he shot pictures for the school newspaper and yearbook and also found work as a wedding photographer. After majoring in English at Holy Cross, he studied theater at Brandeis’ graduate program. There, he became involved in the University’s film school, working as a DP on numerous student productions. This enabled him to develop a network of friends that he says would prove fruitful in building up a resume after school.”

“He also spent some time in the US Air Force. This was where his love of flying and love of photography came together, as he was summoned to make military films. Settling in Providence after leaving the Air Force in 1971…” This is where we segue into Vin Fraiolo’s story on pages 16 and 17. Fraioli met with Heller last month and brings us this report. He also took the cover photo.

The cover design is by Michelle Leotta who recently joined IMAGINE as our Design Editor.
