Photo Expo

The PDN Photo Expo, hosted in NYC, brings people from various parts of the photography industry in to learn about new and upcoming technology and techniques as well as to mingle and meet other professionals. RIT hosts an alumni event to accompany this every year. Last night the alumni of the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences met at Connolly's Pub. It was wonderful seeing so many alumni there! And they even had a mini raffle, I won a set of orange RIT luggage tags, another reason to travel more!

At the actual Expo, RIT has a booth where some photography from the honors show is displayed, including my image from the Metallic Beauty series I did of Melinda.

Honors Show

"On May 16, 2008 the Annual SPAS Honor Show recognizing the work of students in the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences opened in the SPAS Photo gallery on the 3rd floor of the Gannett Building."

One of my images from my Metallic Beauty Series was chosen for the honors show and displayed near its entrance. After the show is displayed in the gallery it'll be used in exhibits for RIT throughout the year for RITs School of Imaging Arts and Sciences, specifically for photography.

Innovation

RIT hosts its first ever Imagine RIT: Innovation Festival, intended as an annual event. Creative works from each college on campus as well as clubs were highlighted in displays, demonstrations and experiments. I photographed the event and edited my photos, as well as those of other ETC photographers, on location for a slide show presentation in the field house, the center of the Innovation Festival, while it was happening.

In the College of Imagine Arts and Sciences, my fashion and product work was displayed in a large case. I received a lot of positive feedback from the showing of my work!
