The idea of "Paper" was formulated towards the end of Vince's junior year as a staff photographer for the Vidette. "I was thinking so hard about ideas to do a documentary when I had my idea right in front of me…it’s where I work. So it sprouted from there. I was like I’m surrounded by this awesome idea, no one knows how this paper is done and it just hit me,” Vince said.
Coming into his senior year, Vince became one of two photo editors. From this perspective Vince was given the tools to properly execute his vision and in turn, "Paper" was born.
