This experience has allowed him to photograph not only familiar areas\, but also the "back roads" where many of his best images have been captured. Morrell is also somewhat of a local celebrity\, having served the community as the Fire Chief and firefighter for 40 years. He is also the founder and owner of Lafayette's family-run Morrell Printing Solutions. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Grand Opening Celebration for Lafayette&rsquo\;s Collective Community Arts Center
