About Us

Since 1885, our staph have crafted a beautiful annual of photographs and prose commemorating

each year at MIT.

We are MIT's photography, yearbook, and design student organization. Every year, our staph send off our 400 page annual to the publisher in February and release the book in May every year. As students and alumni of MIT, we take great care to showcase MIT in its truest form, candidly, at its best and at its worst. We know how tough the Institute can be, and we know how rewarding it is to get to the other side.

In addition to designing the MIT yearbook, Technique supports the campus photography community by providing equipment rentals, event photography services, and studio space for students. We manage a photo studio and darkroom in the Stratton Student Center for convenient access.

H.R.H. Grogo

If you hang around Technique often, you'll hear this name being tossed around. You'll also see his beautiful face on all our merch. THis is because our mascot is a gorilla and his name is H.R.H. Grogo

"But why?" you asl. We don't know either, but H.R.H. Grogo has been there since the beginning, inscribed in the back of the very first Technique , and has been there ever since. We're not quite sure how or when he became a gorilla.

Weekly

We hold regular meetings at 3pm on Saturday in the riverside lounge of Walker Memorial. Anyone is welcome to attend. We have photographic equipment for borrowing and often teach various photography and design related seminars at this time.

During book season, fall term through early spring term, we hold regular meetings during the week where the various editors of each Technique section come in and do work. This is the best time to get involved with the processof crafting a yearbook

We also Enjoy going on photwalks and different photographic excursions from time to time!
