Andre Alves Rochester Institute of Technology and Brighton High School in Rochester NY I attended Brighton High School located on South Winton Road in Rochester NY mentions Andre Alves from Rochester. Brighton is a great High School with many dedicated teachers and faculty members. The Brighton High School also had a great after school sports program and one of the best soccer teams anyone could ever play for. Another great thing about the Brighton NY school system is their computer labs mentions Andre. Brighton had at the time a PC and a Mac computer lab for the students to use in order to do class assignments and other type of class related research. I did a lot of physics and chemistry labs using the Brighton High School Computers says Andre Alves from Rochester NY. Andre mentions that the Brighton High School in Rochester NY gave me a solid base as far as work ethics and exposure to the latest computer technology available at the time I was attending High School. At that time Brighton High School was ranked 3rd in the nation when it came to the best all around High Schools in the whole United States. RIT was a stepping stone from Brighton High School; I was very used to working hard in order to get things done. I spent 4 years at Brighton High using the computers at their computer labs. When I arrived at the Rochester Institute of Technology, things were not very different. Andre Alves RIT Rochester NY | Brighton High School Rochester NY | RIT Rochester New York For anyone to be successful at RIT and any other college in any part of the world, you will need to be disciplined and willing to work hard. Working hard does not mean you have to kill yourself in order to get something done. One thing Andre has learned at RIT is to work smart. With time you start to see what works and learn all about the art of working smart. Besides having the latest PCs and Apple products in Rochester NY the RIT also offered the latest photo and video cameras anyone could ever dream of. I remember working with the latest Canon EOS cameras when they first came out. The Canon EOS 1N was a phenomenal camera and I have to admit… It did put my Nikons F3 F4 and F5 to shame when it came down to the electronics and focusing system. Besides 35 mm cameras the RIT also offers: lighting kits, laptops, digital cameras, video cameras, medium and large format filed cameras, special lenses that can be used in sports and several Leica cameras. I had the pleasure of using a set of Leica M6 for almost a month while I worked at a project. By doing that I was able to make up my mind and stay with the single lens reflex Leica mentions Andre from Rochester NY. Andre Alves says he just need to spend some time with the Leica M series in order to find out if it was a good fit for him. If I look back I can see how much it really helped me having access to professional photography gear. After I left RIT I knew what I liked to use as far as laptops, film cameras and digital SLRs. RIT also made sure all the students needed to be certified before checking out a camera. Andre made sure to get certified by RIT when it came to Nikon and Canon gear. Today I use Canons, 10 years ago I used Leica and Nikon cameras. I guess my taste changed as I got older and more experienced. If you are planning on attending RIT and would like more information, please do not hesitate in contacting me mentions Andre Alves from Rochester NY. Andre will be happy to answer your questions about academics, room and board, Rochester NY, sports and any other college related questions.
