Micajah Truitt is a Professor of Photography & Digital Imaging at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California and a strong believer in education. He values how art can teach a person to think critically, and to develop a person to work hard and pursue his or her individual dreams.  Micajah is a born and raised Texan who had to leave due to the fact that he loves mountains and the West.  He has embarked on several paths in life before becoming a professor including teaching outdoor living skills to teenagers, working for the National Park Service, and working as a freelance photographer.  When Micajah can get away from art and teaching, he is also a climber, a canyoneer, a skier, a mountaineer, and occasionally a surfer. Micajah has a strong desire for adventure that influences his life and many of the concepts behind his artwork.
