2015 comes to a close and it has been a fantastic first 12 months at Iowa State University.  Working as the university photographer, I’ve learned that I’m a short walk away from an expert on any topic, have the potential to travel anywhere on the globe and am always surrounded by passionate hard working folks with great stories.  Not to mention my office is one of the most beautiful campuses on Earth.  Lots of work yet to be done and exciting challenges are ahead.  But for now, here are a few of my favorites from my first year on the job… and a Happy 2016 to all!

The exhibition will run through May 29.(Photo by Christopher Gannon) COHERENCE, the main room installation, utilizes the special inherent quality of spatial coherence to create the illusion of infinite spaces and provides the magic that will illuminate one filament and not the one next to it. Exploiting this special and unique nature of lasers elevates this environment to more than just a science experiment by creating the appearance of internal illumination where there is none, motion where there is none and with the addition of a mirrored floor, produces a subtle perceptive disorientation while defining and marking space in infinite and mesmerizing ways. “I see these pieces as exploring the very act of seeing- as it relates to how light enters our eyes and produces the experiences we perceive and feel. The kinetic manipulation of laser beams through the vibrationally calibrated scanners and pea-sized mirrors, creates a perception of movement and allows for the project to change and evolve marking both time and space." -- artist Dan Corson (Christopher Gannon)(photo by Christopher Gannon) (Christopher Gannon)(photo by Christopher Gannon) (Christopher Gannon)Brenna Lyden, a graduating apparel major, has built a following with her fashion blog and styling business.
