Crandall was thrilled when that very same day the photography professor asked him to teach some evening classes within a few days of notice. Even though he didn't have a teaching license, he did have great experience from his previous occupations. While sharing his knowledge at UVSC, he went on to receive a teaching license with the state of Utah through USU. Upon completion, he was hired by Spanish Fork High School to be the photography teacher. Altogether, he has taught for nine years. Recently, Crandall has taken on a personal project that has garnered attention both at the high school and the district office. An athletic director told him about a motivational poster he had seen and Crandall decided to take it to a whole new level. Today he has completed 20 different motivational sports posters, which are on display at SFHS. With creativity and design right down his alley, he began to experiment. His first picture was an inspiring photo with former head wrestling Coach Layne Shepherd's young boy. "First off, we used Mr. Shepherd's four-year-old boy in the photo shoot, looking up at two varsity wrestlers," said Crandall. "The picture kind of says, I want to be like you guys. So we went to the wrestling room and turned off all of the lights, 1 then used my studio lights and had the child's shadow reflect towards them as he held his head gear. I think it's one of those that could be a national motivation for the sport of wrestling." Crandall said the theme for each poster is the same — "Dream Big." But there are different quotes for each sports poster since he has asked all coaches for their input. Each piece is 16x20 inches and is placed in a wood frame to be admired and to inspire anyone who roams the halls of SFHigh. "We are trying to build athletes even when they're three years old," said Crandall. "We want them to look up to these athletes that are getting good grades, who are stellar people and good at sports." Crandall's love for photography rubs off on others and his posters have inspired more than just the athletic department. Teams such as drill + cheer and band all want their individualized poster. Much time and effort has been involved for him to create such artistic displays of SF student-athletes, but Crandall says he does it because his heart is in it. "I didn't want to make one cent," he said. "It's more of a balance between love of sports, photography and students. But mainly it was to give back to the SF High School because they hired me."
