A snow-covered campus greeted students returning from winter break to beginning the Spring 2025 semester. This amount of snow is unusual for Bloomington and presented a rare opportunity to capture some postcard-esque winter scenic shots of the campus. The University Photographers’ Association of America featured me in a recent story focusing on the behind-the-scenes story behind the first photo below.
For the final home game of IU’s historic football season, I coordinated with the IU Athletics Department to capture aerial photos and videos of a snow-covered Memorial Stadium. This was IU’s first home night game of the season, presenting an interesting opportunity to capture the sold-out stadium after dark. The snowy weather at kickoff added another unique element to the photos. It’s not often that we have snow in Bloomington this early in the season, let alone for a football game. The game marked my third experience flying within a temporary flight restriction (TFR) after being granted a waiver from the FAA.
NOTE: All photos in this post were captured by a drone flying within the temporary flight restriction (TFR) outlined in FDC NOTAM 0/0367 under the authority of FAA waiver.
Sunday marked my tenth anniversary as a photographer at Indiana University. In this past decade, I have been very fortunate to document my beloved alma mater. I always tell my students that the camera is a passport to places you otherwise wouldn’t be able to go. This has certainly been the case here for me. From photographing and meeting John Cleese to witnessing a total solar eclipse, the camera has enriched my life with countless opportunities.
