Vines photographed

The Vines Center has played host to Liberty basketball and volleyball games, as well as many Convocation services and events throughout its 23-year history, according to its Web page.

Les Schofer, Liberty’s senior photographer, has captured many of the happenings in the Vines Center, and he recently photographed the facility from a different perspective ­— the top of the dome.

According to Schofer, he used a lift and boom pole, which is visible on the top of the photo, to climb to approximately 15 feet below the top of the Vines Center roof.

The photo is one of many shots Schofer has captured throughout his time at Liberty. The senior photographer has been taking photographs at Liberty since 1973, only two years after the university was founded. As Liberty’s staff photographer, he has watched the university grow and change through his camera lens.
