Today, my photojournalism classmates and I photographed and live-blogged our best images from Rochester Institute of Technology’s Imagine RIT. Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival is a campus-wide event that showcases the innovative and creative spirit of RIT students, faculty and staff. Along with photographing the above images, I also served as an editor, picking out and processing my classmates images and posting them to our website RIT Image Nation. Check out all of our work here!

Million Hoodie March for Trayvon Martin- March 25th, 2012

As many as 1,000 people took a stand against violence in honor of Trayvon Martin, a Florida teenager who was killed by a community watch member last month. People from Rochester met at the Liberty Pole at 3pm and marched to the Federal Building, calling for justice against Trayvon’s killer, George Zimmerman. “We stand together because one voice doesn’t get heard. But a crowd of voices you can’t ignore.”
