When you look at other books, you see talented designers and wordsmiths, great thinkers and problem-solvers.
BUT WHEN A STUDENT FIRST OPENS THE COVER OF THEIR YEARBOOK, THEY SEE THE PHOTOS. WE GET IT.
The power, the emotion, the action as it occurred and the reactions. They relive each moment, hearing the roar of the crowd or the guffaws in the hallways. You know exactly how much work and planning went into each shutter click — and you know that unbeatable feeling of slight amazement and satisfaction these photographers felt when they saw the output of their efforts.
With a single click, you can make time stand still.
