La Verne In Black & White:

Selection Six: Stefan

Part Six:

This set of photographs displays a young man who has a bright future ahead of him. He is someone who seems to have a good head on their shoulders which can correlate with the work ethic that I saw when I had the pleasure of taking him under my wing. He enjoys his college life as a freshman at the University of La Verne, because he feels like a part of the community already with his older brother already attending since last year being in the same grade as myself. As you will see throughout these photographs, Stefan has a great sense of awareness and where to look at when being photographed throughout the project.

Enjoy!

Photograph One: While staring upon the campus of University of La Verne, Stefan begins his journey as a student that attends college for the first time and sees what he can accomplish in the next four years.

Photograph Two: With the Athletic center also known as “The Tents” in the background, he stares and embraces the role as a college student who has a mission to complete.

Photograph Three: Feeling the night environment and atmosphere of the University of La Verne, he looks beyond to his future at the University of La Verne and wants to be leader.

Photograph Four: With goals in mind, Stefan grows anxious for the moments that he will be experiencing and to see how things will be play out with four years to look to forward to.

Photograph Five: Also, feeling stressed and uneasy based on the new experience, he will be in good hands as the faculty in the University of La Verne cherish every single student that has plans for the future.

Photograph Six: Pacing back and forth in his mind, he will be in for an adventure with his accompanying classmates who also have aspirations and dreams to become something bigger and better.

Photograph Seven: Thinking about the classes that he will be taking and what to expect from the college life, he carefully thinks to himself while twiddling his thumbs.

Photograph Eight: Never been in a situation like this before, Stefan becomes one with his thoughts and what he has to do in order to make his family proud and be where he wants to be.

Photograph Nine: The days have passed, getting closer towards a new year and still a freshman, he feels quite comfortable about his stance in his schooling at the moment.

Photograph Ten: Looking at the first semester passing by a like flash, he feels like an experienced student already.

Words from Stefan:

"This location of the second floor of the parking lot structure is pretty nice and calming

to me as the elevation from where I'm standing to the entire campus, I have quite the

view."
