2008
Erica Abbey says, "I am now working on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. as a photographer for the Folger Shakespeare Library. I am digitally archiving 10,000 items from out art vault, and it's such an experience! I also am starting my own photography freelancing business shooting events, portaits and group shots. I moved back home in Virginia for now, and miss Towson and Hillel very very much. Looking at Graduate schools for archiving for fall 2010. Can't wait to come back and visit."
