Welcome back to Snap Chats, a segment in The Rundown in which we chat from time to time with WUFT photographers to dive deeper into their work.

Today, we learn about University of Florida student Libby Clifton and a photo she took of the Lion Dance — sometimes referred to as a Dragon Dance — at the Chinese American Student Association’s Mid-Autumn festival last year.
