Name: Gary Sutto
Class Year(s): 1982
Note: Gary Sutto MFA ’82 (GAP) writes "2022 marks 40 years since I’ve left RIT. I’m still out with a camera making photographs and can’t imagine stopping any time soon. I would like to hear from those from the 81, 82, and 83 MFA program. Are you still holding a camera in your hands, is it still close to your heart, do you have fresh batteries and a generous sized card in the right slot? Does the process inspire thought, excitement and joy or pleasure in your life, still? Drop me a line; perhaps we can do an image trade/exchange? I should also ask, as I’ve recently bought a pro pack of 120 B/W film, if there is any room left in your heart for film work. Hope to hear from you. www.GarySutto.com"
