All art is at once surface and symbol.
Those who go beneath the surface do so at their own peril.
Those who read the symbols do so at their own peril.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirors...
All art is quite useless.
~Oscar Wilde

I've been shooting since summer, 2003, moving from very amateur vacation landscape photography and into the realm of photojournalism. I am currently employed by the Daily Illini as a staff photographer and have served as the assistant photo editor from fall of 2006 to the present. Sports are my forte when it comes to photojourn. I have also done and am still willing to shoot any formal events (such as weddings). I am certainly up for any personal photo portraits/shoots as well. Leave some comments, and feel free to drop me a message or request at adamjb786((at))gmail.com.
