There’s a lot to it, but the only way to develop as a sports photographer in my eyes is to shoot and keep shooting … the only way to get better at your craft is to do it as much as you possibly can.”

Hiro Ueno ’14

I believe that the best stage managers are people who easily adapt to difficult situations. From rehearsals to performances, unpredictability is a major factor in everything you do, no matter your role. Being able to keep a cool head and positive demeanor helps everyone else stay calm.”

Violet Stevenson ’21

I really wanted to tell the stories of quiet people, who do normal yet extraordinary things. Social media shows us celebrities, turning people into products for their audience. I wanted to tell authentic stories.”

Angela Wu ’19

In my free time, I’m a songwriter and performer. I also love writing about music; I’m interested in things like the history of slack key guitar or the origins of the ‘ukulele in Hawai’i.”
