2004 HALL OF FAME Charles Krehbiel -- Picture Perfect

Just like art, commercial and book printing is in Krehbiel's blood. He heads the fourth generation of the family owned business and is amazed at the parallels between his twin passions of photography and printing.

"I've taken a number of photography courses and have learned so much about cameras, orthochromatic film and panchromatic film," says the 2004 Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame inductee. "It's interesting that the trend in both photography and printing is moving away from film. Another interesting parallel in my life is that the Art Academy is moving within a couple of blocks of the original site of The C.J. Krehbiel Co. in downtown Cincinnati. When I walked into the new home of the Art Academy, I sensed, 'this is awfully familiar.' As it turns out, the Art Academy is moving into the old S. Rosenthal Printing Co. building."
