William Henry Perkin wasn’t trying to make Red #40 in his lab that day. As a research assistant for a famed chemist, he was trying to whip up synthetic quinine, a treatment for malaria. Perkin was interested in the properties of coal tar, an abundant byproduct of coke fuel, which comes from heating coal. But instead, he ended up with a dark powder. Washing out his flask with alcohol, Perkin was struck by the residue’s bright purple color. He tried using it to dye silk, and it was a success. Perkin had found the world’s first synthetic dye.

  After graduating from SAIL, Magar pursued commercial photography at Lively Technical Center. There, she became immersed in learning every inch of her camera and getting hands-on experience working with different techniques. However, a shift slowly began to occur and Magar found she wasn’t as passionate about taking portraits or photographing in a studio environment as she was taking fine arts photos.   Magar will enroll at Tallahassee Community College in January with sights set on becoming an art teacher or art therapist. She’s focused now on abstract images and finds that she can never get close enough to her subject. The furthest she’s gone for a shot placed her upside-down and hanging out of a tree with her camera nearly touching the surface of a lake. Another project that explored nightmarish images taught her an important lesson about photographing in public spaces.   “I had my boyfriend put on a gold mask, cover himself in a sheet, and get into a bush,” describes Magar. “This poor woman came running by with her dog and was so alarmed. I carry a little sign now that says photographing in progress and to get people’s attention and explain what is going on.”   Magar admits that some of her best work is done while buried in seemingly random objects. While the untrained eye sees clutter, she sees magic in the everyday and will flip her perspective to find something new or interesting in something as simple as a plastic water bottle.
