90″x 44″ December 2015 archival inkjet print

After a long and immensely satisfying career as a photo instructor I retired in May. This is a group photo of my last class, a digital hybrids class. The plan was to roughly recreate Leonardo’s “Last Supper” with some students assigned to mimic particular roles and gestures from the original painting;  students painted and dressed themselves accordingly. As the photo sessions devolved into a kind of controlled chaos the scene became more absurd and laughable than anything I’d planned and a perfect way to bid my formal career adieu.  There are details of the image on the page “Last Laugh…”

With deep appreciation and thanks to: Taylor, Kyle, Maggie, Andriana, Alex, John, Griffin, Elise, Katie, Megan, Juliette, Devon, Nikki, Kasie, Marti, Megan P., Melanie, Abby, Kelley, Cara and Steve.

The piece is currently on exhibit in the Faculty Exhibition at The Fine Art Center at Bowling Green State University.
