Running Over

This shot was done in the back parking lot at the administration building a few years ago for a project. 

Roadside Memorial

This shot is from the site of the accident on I-69. Someone placed a display of crosses at the site a few days after the accident. 

The Two Presidents

Here is a shot from our inauguration in April. It was a neat thing to be able to have been here for all these years and have been present at Jay Kesler's inauguration and now Gene Habecker's. 

The Final Frontier

Here is another shot from last week's Fourth of July fireworks display in Muncie. 

The Rockets' Red Glare

This is from the Fourth of July fireworks display in Muncie. 

This shot was done during Taylor Fort Wayne's commencement exercises. Dr. Habecker is getting his robe fixed by Mrs. Vonette Bright and his wife, Marylou. 

This is Dr. Win Corduan; one of my favorite professors and a recent recipient of the Forman Award for teaching and scholarly excellence. 

Here's yet another Lucy shot. 

These two ladies were 99-years-old and 100-years-old. They were college roommates at Taylor and graduated together in 1929. We were able to get them back together for the first time since their 1979 homecoming reunion last month. 

This batter wound up hitting the ball to left field. 

The Pitch. It took several tries to get this particular shot. 

Here is the Muncie Central symphonic band during their concert in the new recital hall at Ball State. 

I want to be like Mike! Here's another Mike Parsons photo - this time he's getting his diploma from Dr. Eugene Habecker during Taylor's commencement last Saturday. 

These three chairs were draped in black in honor of three Taylor students who received posthumous diplomas last Saturday. 

Here's a photo of this year's prairie burn at Avis Industrial. 

This shot of the Taylor banner from our inauguration last week was carried by the Associated Press. 

This shot was taken nearly 5 years ago for a Taylor magazine article about graduating seniors. I had the idea based upon seeing similar shots in Life magazine. 

Here's our new president, Dr. Eugene Habecker, with his new grandson during inauguration ceremonies at Taylor on Saturday. 

These two Taylor students were real blessings to us on Saturday when we hosted Althea Catlin and Dorothy Miller! 

I got to take this photo of Keith Green during his concert at the old Market Square Arena during the spring of 1982. 

Snowy Day

This shot was done a couple of days after Christmas in 2004.

The Rice Bell Tower

One of the advantages of always having a camera with me ... Clouds and rain had been prevalent through the day but just as the sun began to set, the cloud cover began to break.

A New Season

Here's a shot from team photo day in 2005.

Coffin Nail

I got this shot along the Pacific coast a few years ago. The breeze was blowing, the ocean was beautiful and there was a cigarette lying there on the beach. I'm not sure why I shot it, but it's one that I've enjoyed having through the years.

Caps and Gowns

This was from a commencement I photographed last year for the Marion Chronicle-Tribune. I liked the repeated patterns, the lines of caps and the purple. Lots and lots of purple.

The Taylor Sounds

Here is a shot I did of our Taylor Sounds in which I had them gather in a semi-circle around me and I shot a couple of series of photographs of them, then stitched them together in Photoshop. Dr. Rediger, the Sounds' director, liked the shot so well that she used it for their promotional materials. I've had a great time working with her and her musicians through the years.

Two Great Friends

This shot is meaningful to me not because it was a great technical photo ... there are problems with the background, glare from the flash and poor centering. This photograph is meaningful to me because two people who are very meaningful to me are in it. Wayne, on the left, and I were childhood friends. Today, we participate in different ministry efforts and have known each other nearly 50 years. Wow. That sounded old. Petros was our beloved pastor for nearly 15 years. He left us in 1999 to go to a church in Lexington. One very dark day a year and a half ago, we received the call that he had died. Although we grieve his passing and loss and pray for his family, we trust that we will again see him in Heaven one day, and he will be as we are - ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven.

The Supreme Court

Another shot from my DC trip in 2002 ... Obviously the Supreme Court building.

Two National Icons

I took this photo following a conference in Washington, just seven months after 9/11. All of our national landmarks, the White House, the US Capitol, the Washington Monument, and Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials all looked different. I pray for our country and for our people, but also all the people of our world.

Tender Warrior

My friend David and his wife, Paula, posed for this shot in their home in November. I did the photo for a story I wrote about his illness. Their deep faith serves as a powerful witness to the grace and power of God's love, even in the midst of the deepest valleys.
