Imagine RIT 2014

This past weekend was RIT's big innovation fair, Imagine. My class along with the juniors in our program photographed it and put some stuff up on ritimagenation.com. Here's my take

For the first time in my four years here it rained during the fair.

I got to shoot underwater for the first time. 

Second Annual Community Dog Walk

Two weeks ago I shot the Second Annual Community Dog Walk at RIT.

Nikon Speedlights

Yesterday Nikon rep, Joe Carey (JC), came up to help my class work with speed lights. We chose two locations and JC helped us figure out how we would light them, then we shot. Here's what I got.

We started at the Red Barn.

Then we headed over to the Gordon Field House.

Remembering Rwanda

To remember the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide RIT held a number of speakers and had a candlelight vigil. 

Heel The Violence

On Saturday I photographed a walk against domestic violence at RIT. The event was called Heel the Violence.  A lot of people made the walk in high heels and dresses.

Rochester BRAWL

Last Friday I photographed Rochester BRAWL, a women's arm wrestling event that raises money for various charities that benefit women's empowerment and health. In this case the event was benefitting Planned Parenthood and the RIT Center for Women and Gender.

Long Day at the Market

On Saturday I got up and to the market at 4am and was there until about 330pm photographing the Johnson family and friends selling fruit.

Final Game at the Frank Ritter Arena

On Saturday I got to photograph the last RIT men's hockey game at the Frank Ritter Arena. Next year the team will play in the Gene Polisseni Center that is currently being built about 500 yards away.

Unification 2014

On Saturday RIT held their annual Unification performance as a part of Freezefest. Unification is put on by RIT's global union. It is a series of performances from different cultural groups on campus. This is the second year I have had the pleasure of photographing this event for RIT's University News.

Environmental Portraits

I'm currently working on an environmental portrait assignment so this week I went down to R Bikes and also to Gallea's Greenhouse.

29th Annual Big Shot

RIT does an event called the Big Shot every year. People from the community come out and use flashlights and flashes to paint a building with light. This year we lit Rochester's High Falls. 

Polar Plunge 2014

Sunday I went to Rochester's Polar Plunge for the second year in a row. Here's a couple of shots.

Mummers Parade

Every New Years Day Philadelphia hosts the Mummers Day Parade. It's a parade where performers dress up and play music and put on very elaborate performances all up and down Broad Street. 

Chip Fest

In December RIT hosted an 8 bit music concert called Chip Fest. Here's a shot of performer Danimal Cannon.

Back in October I shot a 5k so here's something from that.

Sorry I've been away from here for so long. Here are a few shots from DC.

 While staying in DC I walked past the capitol building every day multiple times.
