Photography is a creative hobby. I took a black and white photography course at MTSU where I learned to fully operate a 35 mm SLR camera, manually process film, mix appropriate developing chemicals, and compose and develop a harmonious print. At the end of the semester, we were required to put together a visual portfolio with a few of our best photos.

For this assignment, we were instructed to show life on campus. Instead of showing the typical masses of people migrating between classes in the middle of the day, I chose to show campus at sunset. The sun is low in the sky and campus is suddenly deserted.
