CASE Award

I was excited and surprised to get a message from my friend Shannon on my FB page earlier in the week, "Sooooo...I understand BU did damn good in CASE. How about that?" It took me a while to track down the results of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education's 2013 Circle of Excellence results, and I was confused when I found them, actually. It took me a moment to realize how well I'd done, and I'm really grateful for that. Also very cool? My coworker Vernon came in second!

Here are the images I entered.

Spiritually Charged Art That Heals

I recently shot this for BU Today, Boston University's online news website.

September

The month of September was was very nice at BU!  I'm pleased with the photos and also glad that photos I'd taken in the past but hadn't run anywhere have now been run. As a result, I can share them! This month, the students started back up in their classes, an alum donated $25M to the school, and the President of Chile came for a visit. Not too bad!

August Work

August was a very busy week at BU, despite the students not being around. Much of the work I did hasn't been published and as such, I can't share it on here. But, here are the one's that did run. Many, as you can see, are of the students moving back in to the campus. Busy times!
