It’s been a little over a year since I started working at Boston University as photojournalist. It’s been an amazing experience so far and I feel fortunate that I am still able to document people’s lives on a daily basis. It’s similar to my newspaper experience the main difference being the smaller community that I cover. It can be somewhat challenging to see the “new” but it also keeps me more focused. Here are some of my favorite images from the past year- I’m looking to forward to what this new year will bring.
