Indianapolis

For Lee Mandrell, photography started out as a hobby that quickly ignited into a fiery passion and then into a lifelong career. He started out at age 14 with a secondhand Minolta Hi Matic E range finder. Mandrell worked as a custom darkroom technician in a pro lab for years, and was eventually promoted to production manager. An early adopter of both digital technology and Photoshop, he is still actively involved in all current photography techniques and practices.Matthew Tully is a political columnist for The Indianapolis Star. His columns on public schools have helped drive debate over education reform in Indiana. He is the author of Searching for Hope: Life at a Failing School in the Heart of America (IUP, 2012).
