Scott Trimble, a senior photojournalism major, had a family history of photographers, which sparked his photo interest. Trimble ' s grandfather served as a World War II aerophotographer. His father worked as an engineer and an amateur photographer. Trimble said he has been a photographer for about six years. Trimble practiced his photo skills on his high school yearbook staff where he worked as the photo editor. In his featured entry, Trimble aimed for a photo that would catch the diver in motion, which was his intention. Trimble, who worked at the swimming pool, said, I thought it would be great if I could capture that. He added, I wanted to have a silhouette shot because I also liked the color of the sky in the background. ■ Story by Kim Kaan Preparing to soar through the air, the diver is caught before taking the plunge. The color of the sky and the silhouette shot compelled the photographer to take the photo. Photo by Scott Trimble SCOTT TRIMBLE
