At the end of Syracuse University’s Fall Workshop, we had a little thank you ceremony for my advisor and friend, David Sutherland, who will retire at the end of this year after 40 years of teaching at Newhouse. It is hard to put into words what he has meant to so many of us.
Partly because he uses so few words – his critiques are legendary for their brevity.
Sutherland gave me my two careers, as a photojournalist and an educator, and his voice is inside my head constantly. Every day I teach, there’s some of his vision there.


Someone’s gonne be sad this was left in the hall.

I’ve been watching this vine grow and die for 30 years now.

Headed back to my old school for their fall workshop, taking four of my Georgia kids along. Which meant I got to see some old, dear friends, including my first photo editor (above) and close grad school buddy.


Two cones appeared a few days after circles were painted on the sidewalk. I suspect traffic barriers are going up.

More evidence of how much Georgia football fans love the campus.
