Fall at Indiana University

Without question, fall is the most picturesque season at Indiana University Bloomington. I pushed myself this season to get out on campus more than I had in the previous few years. Capturing what we call “campus scenics” is one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling parts of my job. It’s an opportunity to be outdoors and make pictures of the campus at its peak visual grandeur. These photos were part of a post I edited on the university’s Exposure.co site featuring work from my talented colleagues at IU.

12th USA International Harp Competition

This summer I photographed the 12th USA International Harp Competition on the Indiana University campus here in Bloomington. This was my second time photographing the event, which is held every three years. I had been looking forward to the competition since the organizers asked me last summer to document it once again. The great thing about being a photographer is the ability to use your camera as a passport to worlds you otherwise would never have the opportunity to explore. This was certainly the case for me with this community of world-class harpists. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to capture this event once again – and equally grateful that I had mirrorless camera silent shutters to help the cause this time around.
