For 25 years, Jay Beckman, '84, captured action on video.
The BCA major says his CMU education – which included training with Moore Hall Television – helped him earn eight Emmys as a member of the broadcast crew for events like NFL Football and the Daytona 500 for FOX Sports.
Recently, he decided to see things through a different lens. And Beckman, who lives in Arizona, transitioned to photography.
"I wanted to slow down and capture moments. I'm using what I was taught at Central, but photography is a different type of challenge. It is catching what you feel and see in front of you, but in one still. It makes you focus on life's interesting details – and that's a beautiful thing." •
