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.

Scenes along U.S. Bicycle Route 235

Last month, I had the opportunity to spend a chunk of a weekend photographing the sights along Indiana USBR 235, a 120-mile leg of the U.S. Bicycle Route System between Indianapolis and Seymour, for a travel section feature in The Washington Post. This shoot was a lot of fun. Beyond a shot list of a few places to capture from the reporter, Andrea Sachs, I had the creative freedom to drive the route and make pictures. The route was gorgeous in all its peak fall foliage glory, and these photos cannot begin to do it justice. For years, I have enjoyed riding several of the roads along this route. This was a neat chance to combine a couple of my passions – photography and cycling – to showcase some of these hidden gems to a national audience.

Indianapolis by drone

In recent months, I have had a few opportunities to drone in downtown Indianapolis. This is thanks in part to my work as a photographer for Indiana University as well as in a freelance capacity.
