Many admire his
photos, nostalgic reminders of days on campus. But few know who made them.

Peter Blankman, director
of communications and publications, has been taking photographs of the College
and its people for nearly three decades. Though hundreds of his photos have
appeared in College publications for which he serves as editor – the magazine,
calendars, brochures and books – they almost never appear with a credit line.

His photographs
capture the everyday life of campus (classroom discussions and sports
practices) and the uncommon events (Bicentennial celebrations and VIP visits).
But his trademark works show the beauty of the campus in a variety of
conditions from summer swelter to winter whiteout.

“It's
always been a treat to walk around the campus with a camera and capture some of
what makes Union so special,” he says.

The show, which
features 22 photos, runs through April 16.
