I fell in love with photography in middle school when my dad gave me a 1965 Argus camera. It had a split-image rangefinder, and I immediately became obsessed with nailing sharp focus and fine detail.   I took pictures of everthing I could with this camera.

Back then, the magic happened at the local Photomat drive-through where I'd order my prints. Looking back, I feel incredibly lucky to have attended college right on the cusp of the digital revolution. I got to experiment with the earliest editing tools available, like ImagePro (before it became Photoshop 1.0), alongside Aldus PageMaker and Quark. 

The sheer excitement of seeing a photo pop up on a computer screen for the first time is something I'll never forget. 

You will shoot, print, and create photos that tell your unique story, capturing the exact ideas and moments that define how you see the world.
