Lloyd Furniss: Busiest Man on Campus By Iim Tfmey A good photographer should be an art director, a show director, a psychologist, a diplomat and an acrobat. So says Lloyd Furniss, ISU photographer and one of the busiest men on campus. Starting in, 1930 with a Kodak Brownie box camera, Furniss has established him- self as a first-rate professional and one of the top chroniclers of school life in the nation. In his career he has photographed everything from high fashion models to cathedrals to cuts of meat from the Chi- cago stockyards. He lists as one of his more memorable experiences photographing Marilyn Mon- roe for three or four hours while the star was filming Bus Stop at Sun Valley. His pictures have been published in Time and Life as well as other major news magazines. Risks Injury for Pictures He has narrowly missed being injured while working at sporting events and was once gored by a bull at a rodeo. A native of Ogden, Utah, Furniss got his start in photography when he was 12 years old. As an amateur, he went from camera to camera, always looking for better results. He used modest, simple equipment and was soon processing his own pictures. His Hrst picture to cross the printer's desk was published in the local Ogden newspaper. It showed a group of mountain climbers reaching the end of a long climb. At first undecided between being an artist or a photographer, he finally saw the light,', as he puts it. After a four- year stint in the Army and four years of part-time art schooling, he went to work for a Chicago studio as a photographer. And I've never had a moment's reretf' he says. Furniss came to Pocatello to see the mountains and to take up free-lance photography. He became the head pho- tographer for the Idaho State Journal and worked there for seven years. Best Iob in State In 195 8 he went to work at ISU where he claims, I've got the best job in the state of Idaho. The work here is much more to my liking than newspaper work. He says he is able to be more illustrative now than as a news photographer. Furniss runs a highly efficient one-man operation, covering all major events of the school. Never satisfied with just a snapshot, he will climb on benches or lockers to get that extra foot of height or the special angle that will make the picture something special. Sharing his knowledge with others, Furniss teaches a journalism course in photography.
