"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Departures IV is a juried exhibition that highlights photography by recent graduates of the Daytona State College and University of Central Florida photography programs. This is the fourth year that the Southeast Museum of Photography has had the honor of showcasing the work of these recent graduates and it will continue to be a yearly summer event at the museum. For nearly 40 years, Daytona State College graduates have taken their place among the nation’s leading photographers and by partnering up with the University of Central Florida nearly five years ago, the opportunities for graduates are even more attainable. In the early years of the Associate Degree program at, what was then Daytona Beach Community College, there were few programs in the country that compared in both depth and range of instuction to foster creativity and technical mastery of the medium for students. With the commitment of successive college administrations, the program grew into the largest, most comprehensive commercial photography program in the southeast. The challenges of a rapidly changing aesthetic and commercial environment have been met by a dynamic program that stresses the fundamental aspects of photography, the highest level of technical proficiency and professional judgment; one that gives a broad understanding of the techniques, materials and equipment used in the profession today. The success of so many DSC and UCF graduates attests to their skill, drive and resourcefulness, as well as the way that their interest in the medium was nurtured, informed and developed. In recent years, the strength of the DSC program has been extended and expanded with a strategic partnership that offers a four-year bachelor’s degree program through the University of Central Florida. More than twenty graduates are showcased here in an exciting and diverse exhibition.
