“Dury’s has a long history of supporting the photographic community, every since it become one of George Eastman’s first eight dealers,” Small said. “I have been aware of the excellent work of the Alexia Foundation since I was a student at Syracuse University (where the Competition is administered) and attended the annual photojournalism seminars and competition judgings. The Foundation made it possible for me to be exposed to some of the top people in the photojournalism business and was partially responsible for the way I look at our business today.”
