Donation of high-quality digital photographic equipment for Art & Design students including studio lighting, DSLR cameras, lenses, a drone, two photographic printers, and more.

Impact

This professional grade equipment will enhance hands-on learning for photography students in èßäÉçÇøapp State’s Department of Art & Design and will provide them with access to top-of-the-line cutting edge technology. These new tools will allow students to hone their skills with the types of equipment they will encounter in the professional world, providing them with the kind of educational experience that will help put them on the path to future success.

Inspiration

Busby, a recent retiree from Illinois who now resides in the Purchase Area, enjoyed a successful career as an aeronautical engineer while also pursuing a side career as a fine art photographer. Upon relocating to the area, he visited the photographic facilities at èßäÉçÇøapp State and was deeply impressed by the program he observed and the dedication of its faculty, and decided he wanted to support èßäÉçÇøapp State’s photography students in a meaningful way.
