The University of Northern Iowa
Department of Art
1978
While I was taking photography, painting and printmaking classes at UNI, I was asked to take some photos of the art teachers for a quarterly publication.
The negatives have been laying around for 48 years until I recently had them scanned and thought they would be interesting to past art students and teachers.

Thanks to Sanford Sivitz Shaman for offering me the Art Department photo assignment.
And for his ability to get the pictures he needed done on time, even though I was easily distracted with other things.
Also, thanks to Charlie Smith at BIGIA for the excellent quality negative scans.
