Artist of the Day: Mohamad Rawoas
Ms. Villars is having her kids do reflective photos, actual real reflections around campus. Mohamad Rawaos is a senior who has been taking pictures with us for years, and he is the featured artist today, because, wow--he is selected for his photograph captured in the quad, with a focus on exploring reflections. His distinctive editing style, which he has crafted into a preset in Adobe Lightroom, brings forth an elegant and fresh color combination that adds a unique dimension to his work. It took us a while to figure out where he was. Can you identify his origin place?

The students who you see here not only experienced it, they dominated it, that is Aiden Schulke, Anita Chinwuba and Daya Santiago who were finalst, runner up and champion respectively.
