Jackson Steinmetz, Bluffton High School senior, is the Icon's artist of the month.

He has taken Art 1, Photography and Crafts, according to Vickie Garmon, BHS art teacher.

"I plan on studying film production and communications as well as Spanish at Goshen College next year," he said.

"In the picture I am working on a print in the dark room. It is really cool to use old fashioned film cameras and learn how they operate. In photography I really enjoy being able to work with both old fashioned methods and modern digital art."
