She has been taking pictures eversince.Wainscott recalled using her first camera to take pictures of the aquarium inChicago. The photos, she said, werenot very good. But it wasnt long andWainscott began excelling in the art ofphotography. She grew to love takingpictures, and even had opportunities toget paid for what she loves. Wainscottsaid, Ive done a couple of weddings,some senior pictures, and productionshows. Basically anything people willhire me to do, Ill do.Though she liked taking portraits,Wainscotts favorite form was taking candids. I especially love takingspontaneous pictures of life, she said.I take pictures [when someone is] relaxed. When someone smiles or laughs.I love the pictures between laughingand seriousness, when you really cansee a person.Wainscott felt that photographywould be something that she wouldalways wants to do. Im going to goto IU or Columbia for sure and get aBA in photography. Im not sure whattype of photography; its such a hugegenre to work with. [After finishingcollege], Im not sure what type of photography Ill pursue, whether commercial or artsy.Wainscott felt that documenting whatwas around her was the best way toexperience as much of the world aspossible. She said the world is a beautiful place, especially when looking atit through the eyes of other people, Ilove looking at someone who is like 80years old and capturing their face andwhole life on film. Its so cool, andworth doing. -CHANDLER WAGGONERJUNIORKevinToutkoushianI like this picturebecause it represents a bike trip Itook last summer.Its just a goodmemory I haveSENIORKristinaHobbsIt was the firstportrait I did, it isan inspiration forme to experimentwith new subjectsand more innovative concepts inphotograph.SOPHOMOREAllysonCurellMy art meansa lot to mepersonally, because throughmy art I caninspire people.the arts \| ACADEMICS \| 21
