Become Part of the Trinity Campus Gift and Naming Opportunity Many decorative benches adorn our campus. These highly-visible benches come in handy for students waiting for rides or anyone just looking for a place to relax. For donors who wish to make a gift to the school, we are offering the opportunity to have an engraved plaque affixed to a bench. The engraved plaque (2”x 9”) provides up to three lines with up to 40 characters per line. The school will work with the donor to create an appropriate inscription. It could be for an individual (e.g. in memory of or in honor of ), a family, group (e.g. Class of 19__) or a business. This naming opportunity is available for $1,500 per bench.

Two years later, in 1996, he returned to Louisville and took jobs with an extermi- nating company and bartending. He’d work for a few months, save money for traveling and then take off again for several months. During 1996 and 1997, Ted also thought a lot about what he wanted to do. Above all, he had learned that he wanted to make a living outdoors. He considered becom- ing an environmental studies professor and traveled to Fort Collins, Colo., to learn what he needed to do to enroll in Colorado State University’s environmental studies pro- gram. It wasn’t for him. Ted also was a substitute teacher for Jefferson County Public Schools. However, in 1997, while on a trip through Arizona, California, New Mexico and Utah, Ted took some photo- graphs with his mother’s well-used camera that changed his life. “I didn’t realize I’d seen what I’d taken a picture of,” Ted said. “In other words, I saw that I had some hidden talent for photography. It was a complete accident. When I realized that my pictures looked as good as those in nature books, I was on my way. Plus, I had the business and outdoor skills to make it happen.” The revelation inspired Ted to teach himself about cam- eras and photography techniques. In 1998, Ted bought a higher quality camera, read books on photography and composition, took notes and shot lots of pictures. “Having no formal photography training, I learned and am still learning from the writings and images of great photographers like Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell, David Muench, Art Wolfe and Charles Campbell. I burned up a lot of film before I ‘crossed over’ to have the capacity to shoot professional quality images.” Ted’s first professional shoot occurred on the Kalalau Trail, 4,000 feet above the Na Pali Coast in Hawaii. Pleased with the shots he took, he returned to Louisville Ted Tarquinio ’90 at Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. and started TLT Outdoor Photography.
