Images capture life in unique and powerful ways, and we’re blessed to have a world-class photographer on our staff who has depicted the ĢƵ experience so beautifully.” The college already publishes its quarterly magazine on the iPad (available through Apple’s App Store) and plans to create “The Year in Pictures” annually.
