Testimonials
“Rick Bernico’s photography brought Kalamalama, the Hawaii Pacific University student newspaper, a national award for photography in 2001. The American Scholastic Press Association presented Kalamalama, and Mr. Bernico by name, an award for “Most Outstanding Overall Photography” among college newspapers. (The Association judges newspapers from more than 5,000 members.)”
“His photography and photo editing helped us win national “First Place with Special Merit” awards in 1999, 2000, and 2001.”
He has an excellent sense of what makes a good shot, a strong jounalistic sense of what makes news.”
“The HPU jounalism program has been blessed with excellent and talented students, but even among them Mr. Bernico, with his drive for excellence, stands out. Add to this drive a natural talent as a writer, reporter, and designer, and a willingness to learn all he can to improve his craft, and you can understand why I expect him to produce a remarkable body of work.”
