10 years at Indiana University

November 18, 2024

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.
