Just a quick blog entry to show you all just a small handful of the headshots I have been taking this Winter. Best of luck to all of my authors, professors, professionals, actors, performers and especially you graduating seniors. I hope these help you in your post-collegiate pursuits. Come back and visit Oberlin soon.
