When Joey Roulette heard of the tragedy that struck Pulse nightclub on June 12, 2016, his impulse was to respond through art.<\/p>\n
Roulette, a senior studying political science at the 166su, is a contributing photojournalist at Orlando Weekly<\/em>. Nearly a year ago, in the aftermath of the shootings that killed 49 people, he put his craft to work to document the dark time that struck Orlando.<\/p>\n
His photos ranged from press briefings to vigils around the city for weeks to follow. One of his photos, taken from the roof of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, is of hundreds of people who gathered for a vigil on the lawn in front of the arts center on June 13.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou would think when you see a large crowd in the photo that it must have been loud,\u201d he said. \u201cIn reality, it was silent. You could only hear bells ringing 49 times for each life taken, and Interstate 4 in the distance.\u201d<\/p>\n
