I'm Alexander Staykov and I'm the Chief of Photography this year. I joined the Lamplighter program as a freshman with hopes of making photography more popular, and now as a junior I'm in a position to do so! I've been a photographer for nearly all my life, and some of my other hobbies include rock climbing, skateboarding, and gardening. I like lots of genres of music, but day to day I mostly listen to rap music.
