Light And Shadow, Joshua Feingold Apr 2011

Light And Shadow, Joshua Feingold

Quadrivium: A Journal of Multidisciplinary Scholarship

My first artistic photographs were in black and white. This form of photography promotes the use of strong graphical elements, a concept that is expressed in these images. I hope that the interplay of light and shadow provokes special insights into the natural world.

Quadrivium: A Journal of Multidisciplinary Scholarship

Genetic and genealogical research can provide clues to one’s identity and ethnic background, as well as potential medical conditions.

Often referred to as people in transition, international students usually arrive in the U.S. with a clear sense of their academic goals; however, they often have not considered what their lives will be like or how they may change in non-academic ways.
