Indiana University School of Journalism alumnus Andrew Prinsen, BAJ '07, is reporting from India as part of his Ross Hazeltine Traveling Scholarship, a $7,000 grant to report on global issues outside North America.
Thank you for the slides…I feel like I am a little closer to what you are seeing. I miss you.

I wish I could learn the way you use perspective to help add such dynamism and interest to your photos, Andrew. The ability to see things from these unusual positions is inherent in your “story-telling,” and it also suggests you study your subjects at length….you really seem to know them, and the photos – while being intimate – don’t intrude on their world. They have given you a mirror of their lives and you obviously have their trust.
Also thought the music was perfect for the flavors you were trying to project in the slideshow…who was the artist?
We’ll welcome Tim back (tomorrow) but continue to follow you and your words and images.

I just wanted to say that I find this really amazing. Brooke showed me the website and I think it is exceptional. Looking at some of your travels and experiences shows me that you are doing what life is calling you to. Thank you.
The artist is a band called Iron & Wine. “Weary Memory” is the name of the song.

Andrew, watching your photos is like returning Calcuta again!! It is really great the way you show the life there!! You have to walk through Calcuta´s streets to realice what that is about but, by watching you video, you can take a very good impression of their lifes.. Thank you very, very much for your hard work there and for the good time we´ve passed with Tim and you…

Hey Andy! I loved your slides! Theu were so powerful…the people in India come alive and real. We are all connected because we are God’s people, but that means so much more when you can see faces…and really begin to feel that connection. My very favorite slide is the last one, taken thru the rainy windshield. I think that one slide alone will make you famous! : ) You are already famous with us! We miss you! Thank you for widening our experience and opening our hearts!

Andy-
I have been updated by your Mom, and have enjoyed reading your website/blog, as well as the wonderful article in the Courier Warrick insert – AWESOME! You truly have a gift from God, and have put it to great use.
Eric used your bike earlier this fall for a couple triatholons(did I spell that right?)..with Claire and Scott – I think he may be hooked, although now he is almost in swimming season. Blake and a friend even went to the second one.
Well, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I remember similiar scenes from my time in India when I was 10 – some things have not changed alot, I imagine(over 30 years ago:)!
Take care,
Melissa and the rest of the Arseneauxs
