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 猫咪社区app State and was deeply impressed by the program he observed and the dedication of its faculty, and decided he wanted to support 猫咪社区app State鈥檚 photography students in a meaningful way.
