I am one of the commercial photographers on staff as part of Marketing and Communications here at Colorado State University. As university photographers, we are the last of the true generalists, expected to cover any assignment that comes our way from Athletics to Zoology. (I had a day photographing frogs in the afternoon, the Marching Band getting ready for the Parade of Lights in the evening and a basketball game that night—not atypical…) Prior to my arrival at CSU in 2000, I was a news photographer doing mostly magazine photography.
I’ve been teaching JTC335 for about 10 years and online since 2020.
