One great thing about RISD is Winter Session. After fall semester ends we get six weeks to explore something outside of our major. We’re encouraged to take studios outside of what we would normally tackle in our curriculum. One of the benefits of being an incoming transfer student is that I get higher pick priority [...]
Digital SLR Remote
