 We all have those things that grab our attention. Things that stick with us. Quite often those things are abstract. But when I grow tired of numbers and symbols, there's one thing that I keep coming back to. The camera keeps me grounded in reality. To really be mindful and see the world and this campus, not only for what it is, but for what it could be. To capture the poetry in the things that we walk by every day. A century of yearbooks by Technique have inspired me along the way. I wanted to give back, and so I joined. Only to find some things felt through the cracks after the pandemic. No more office, no official home for the gear and computers we lend out. Nowhere for the old books, except a dark room condemned for asbestos. I really don't know what I'm doing, but I feel like we could bring it all back. If we could get the name out there again, and keep on taking photos and sharing the joy in looking at things just that little bit more carefully. Technique faces challenges, but whatever happens, I hope we can get people to think of the institute not just as a place to work, but as an infinite canvas.
