This book is amazing. The photography is exceptional in the details that are revealed.

I’d love to hear more about the projects you’re dreaming of bringing to life.

These were inspired by a photo I saw from (you guessed it) a #Goose #Goosemas concert.

While that prompt may seem simultaneously vague and specific (it is), this was the framework I decided to explore with my students this semester.

Whenever possible, I try to complete a project in parallel to the projects that my students are working on.
