KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM The caption of this 2001 photo by Keith Gedamke reads “City of Sumter workers James Swinton and Ashton Taylor are not cleaning the beach but are actually weeding along North Sumter Street on Wednesday afternoon.” The Sumter Item photographer, who lost his battle with cancer Saturday, won first place for this photo in 2001 in the South Carolina Press Association’s Feature Photo category. In the background is Blue Sky’s mural “Winter Beach.” Judges of the contest said, “We had to look twice at this picture to figure out if it was a real beach. Perfect composition and placement of workers really fooled us.” See more of Keith’s photos on page A7. District details termination of 34 jobs Family will hold

umter Item photographer Keith Gedamke touched the lives of thousands of people in the tri-county area. Look in yours or your child’s scrapbook at the tiny print, and you are likely to see his S name next to the photo. For a quarter-century, he shot photos of children in schools, athletes at their best, unique characters of our commu- nity, walkers in protest marches and unfortunate tragedies. Gedamke, 47, died of cancer Saturday, just four days after sitting in his last reporters’ meeting, still trying to work — even though everyone tried to get him to stay home and get some rest. Those of us at The Sumter Item recall how through the years he some- times became a bit grumpy and rolled his eyes at another assignment that we all knew would tell the community’s story. But while he might grumble a bit on his way out the door, he would come back excited, anxious to show the staff the award-winning photos he shot. That acknowledgement from the local staff was just as meaningful to him as the many South Carolina Press Association awards that he piled up on his desk. The Sumter Item staff wanted to recognize his outstanding contribution to our newsroom for the last 25 years by just giving you a small peek at some of his photos. His volume of work speaks for itself and of him. Friends and family will gather at 2 p.m. Saturday at La Piazza, next to the City Centre (21 N. Main St.), for a Celebration of Life service to honor Keith. Former staff photographer Chris Moore will officiate the service, which will include remarks by others who knew him well.
