Jacob Titus is an up and coming photographic artist in South Bend. I met Jacob at The Collective which is held at South Bend Brew Werks and liked him and his work instantly. Jacob works full-time for a non-profit then spends his free time taking beautiful pictures. He is also very passionate about the people and culture of South Bend. Whenever there is something positive going on in South Bend, you will see Jacob there helping or documenting the event on film. I am excited that Jacob was accepted to participate in the 2016 installation of The Birdsell Project. I am including a picture of a photograph of Jacob's that I purchased for my daughter. It really does not do his art justice but I believe you will get an idea of Jacob's talent. Jacob is another young person in our community that spends his time making a positive difference and I'm proud to know him.
