For the conclusion my DT Love Week, I thought this special Valentine's Day post may appeal to many of my DT readers...

Recently I came across some great wedding shots on Penn's campus of a couple who actually met at Penn.  After poking around on Penn's website, I realized you can actually now get married and have your reception at Penn!

After the jump, check out some great wedding shots around Penn and learn more about how you can have your wedding reception at dear old Penn!

The school year just started and another new crop of diverse and talented freshmen are now on campus, embracing traditions and getting ready to campaign ...not only for Obama and McCain, but for themselves. (Freshmen, get some ideas as to how last year's candidates used video to promote themselves here!). The Class of 2012 is getting ready to be part of the next cycle at Penn.

To kick things off, meet Alex Remnick (C'12, Penn PreCollege programs '06, '07) who is already making a name for himself in the world of photography.

Per Alex,

"In the work I take most seriously, I strive to combine aesthetic quality with a conceptual significance. Unfortunately, at some point in their journey, most photographers become either technically or thematically focused. The technical minds create works that are beautiful but shallow and the "artists" create work that may be significant, but is often ugly and cryptic. I think it's important that art remains visually beautiful, even if the topics it covers aren't."

Alex's work includes the following:

• Portraits of authors Rick Brody for the New York Times (see here) and Peter Schjeldahl for Art Forum magazine (photos used for their respective books). 
• Five of Alex's images featured in New York's Zelnick Media building (they're the company who produced "Grand Theft Auto")
  
• Photo work for a book on child psychology co-written by Penn graduate, Susan Davis (C'78).

Take a look at some of Alex's pieces here:

• "Damsels and Distress" 1
• "Damsels and Distress" 2
• A portrait of a Tony Award winning playwright (more here)
• Cityscape
• Nightscape 
• More of Alex's photos here

Despite racial tension in the early 1970s, Michael Abramson (W'70) shot photos in the Chicago Southside nightclub scene which fueled his career as a successful photographer for numerous national and foreign magazines including Time, Newsweek, BusinessWeek, Forbes and Sports Illustrated.

Michael has shot some prestigious subjects including former presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, Oprah Winfrey, and Michael Jordan. Other photos subjects included workers in a recycling plant and wild mustangs in South Dakota.

His story has recently been told in the Chicago Tribune. (Read the article below!)

Tara in above photo taken while on assignment for Glamour in Chad.

Over the past year, I've covered many stories about Penn actors, filmmakers, and musicians and now it's time to showcase another talented Penn international photographer whose beautiful work has appeared in many worldwide publications.

Based in the Middle East, Tara Todras-Whitehill (C'00, Eng'00, Stimulus Children's Theater) is a photographer who lived in Cairo for the past 2 1/2 years and just recently got a job with the Associated Press in Jerusalem where she'll be covering Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. Her journey from undergrad to professional world photographer is quite an interesting one (she's a quite the jetsetter!). Check out all the publications her photos have appeared in!

Tara has posted some really stunning photos on DT that you should take a look at...
