Western Landscapes
Paul Runyon, Associate Professor and Program Director of Photography, led six seniors on a field trip as part of the Western Landscape photography course over the Spring term break. In addition to having spectacular landscape to photograph, the students learned firsthand about industrial tourism, land use, geology and the politics of water in the west over their 11 day, 2400 mile road trip through remote areas and national parks.

Mike Arrison, alumni, has worked on 20+ productions of various shapes, sizes, and genres since graduation. "Between The Scenes" is exploring the liminal space of transition from the real world to the film world. It's a documentation of the moments when there is no clear delineation between the actor and the character, the set and the created world within the film.
This July Mike will be volunteering at Camp Twitch and Shout in Athens, GA as the Camp Photographer. CT&S is a week long summer camp for kids and teenagers with Tourette's Syndrome. He will be working on a photographic body of work documenting the kids and their tics in a manner that informs and educates but doesn't exploit.
