Online Auction About Jerry Poppenhouse Poppenhouse worked as a creative photo designer for Phillips Petroleum Co. in Bartlesville. His work for Phillips has taken him worldwide and brought him face-to-face with international celebrities. He has observed tribal rituals of African natives and battled minus-85-degree temperatures in Alaska. He's been buffeted by 60-foot waves in the North Sea and blinded by the darkness of the Amazon jungle in Peru. All for the sake of visual recording. And he has photographed Luciano Pavarotti, Walt Disney, Robert Redford, and a wealth of intriguing faces. He has received the Chicago Award of Excellence, the Cine Golden Eagle, the United States Industrial Silver Screen Award, the American Advertising Federation Award, the Graphex Proclamation in Photography, the Addy Award for Excellence in Advertising, and the Oklahoma Film and Television Producers Association Gold Award.
