‘Parting’ shot

Photo of the Week

Cole Kalkowski, a senior in mechanical engineering and member of the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program, holds his future — a pair of calipers — in his left hand and his passion — an “exploded” digital camera — in his right.

Craig Chandler, director of photography at University Communication and Marketing, found an irreparable single-lens reflex camera from a local repair shop — then “tore it down into as many parts as I could.” In his studio, Chandler shot a photo of Kalkowski holding the camera’s core and, separately, photos of its remaining individual pieces. In Photoshop, he combined and arranged the images into the final composition. His efforts earned Chandler first place in a monthly photo contest coordinated by the University Photographers’ Association of America.
