Bertha & Martin Glaser
The Martin & Bertha Glaser Memorial Award, established in 1998 as the Martin Glaser Memorial Award, is the highest honor in Antique & Amusement Photographers International. It is bestowed annually to a member who has given years of dedicated service to AAPI and the Old Time Photo industry. Recipients have worked hard to keep the highest level of excellence in our industry and continue to strive to reach new levels of accomplishment. Most of all, they have demonstrated an ability to maintain this unique sector of the photographic industry as a fun and respected photographic specialty.
Martin & Bertha Glaser were a tremendous source of encouragement and support to their son Jack Glaser when he opened his first studio in 1978. Jack honors his parents with his generous donation of this annual award.
AAPI is proud to congratulate the following recipients of this prestigious award…
At the 2018 AAPI Convention, previous award winners join our newest Martin & Bertha Glaser Award winner Tim Burke… From L to R: Jim Miller, Derrick Gillikin, Todd Corneil, Jeff Mulvihill, Jr., Bill Vahrenkamp, John Ashley, Jack Glaser, Brent Uzzo, Scott Henry, Paul Gunn, Faye Cunningham and Tim Burke
