Winter Wonderland at Indiana University Bloomington
Now that winter has finally subsided (fingers crossed), I wanted to take a look back at what was a picturesque winter on the Indiana University Bloomington campus. As a native Hoosier, February has always been my least favorite month of the year. This isn’t even taking into account the once-in-a-century global pandemic. One thing that did brighten my spirits this year, however, was the snow. It gave me an excuse to get outdoors, chase some squirrels and make a few pictures. In Bloomington we don’t normally get this much snow so it was a real treat to capture the campus in a different weather perspective.

‘Cinema Paradiso’ screening at Memorial Stadium
This year I have been struck by the visual oddness of the COVID-19 crisis. This pandemic is forcing us to reimagine things we used to take for granted like going to the movies. IU Cinema got creative and used the university’s empty football stadium to screen Giuseppe Tornatore’s 1988 masterpiece, “Cinema Paradiso.” The screening was also the final public event for IU Cinema’s founding director Jon Vickers. It’s been a great pleasure for me to work with Jon over the years photographing IU Cinema’s various events. The event was a fitting send-off and a rare opportunity for members of the IU community to gather amidst the pandemic.
