“What does it feel like to be hanging up your camera after 56 years?” Feliks asked.

“It’s pretty strange, for 56 years, I was always thinking about my next assignment or driving around Seattle looking for my next photo,” Gilbert said. “Now I’ll probably still be looking for a photo, but I won’t be getting up in the morning worrying about where I’m gonna get it or making it on the assignment on time. Or dealing with the traffic!”

Gilbert has taken some iconic photos for The Seattle Times, including the , a band The Heats, and a photo of Queen Elizabeth, alongside the day-to-day photos needed in a newsroom.

Dave Ross reflected on his experiences working alongside photojournalists like Gilbert.

“I remember when I was doing street reporting that the photographers were always the craziest people in the press gaggle because they had to get as close as possible,” Ross said. “And they didn’t care!’

So, what’s his favorite photo that he has taken in his tenure at the Times?

“Well, the one I have to hang my hat on is, of course, the lighting over Seattle. An that I shot in 1984 that the Seattle Times at one point sold 60,000 copies. They offered a free 11″ x 14″ of it if you subscribed to the times.”
