End of Semester

My final project for Writing for Public Relations was a press kit. I asked the SVEDC if there was a project I could do and was given... doughnuts. They wanted me to help promote a the New Cafe they are incubating. As an event to promote at Zombie Doughnuts Cafe` they picked the Bernalillo County Employees Appreciation Day. For my project I had several things to turn in--like a press release and fact sheet. The picture above is the poster I made as part of the project.

ADVICE FROM THE BIRDS

Earlier this week I took these pictures of two Lesser Goldfinches bathing in the waterfall at the UNM duck pond.

***A Photo Essay about the recent state of emergency on the UMN Main Campus***









The University of New Mexico Main Campus went without drinkable water for almost 24-hours beginning Tuesday morning when a physical plant department employee noticed brownish colored water. A state of emergency notice went out shortly after 10:30am that discouraged students from using any tap water on campus.
As of Wednesday morning the tap water on campus was deemed good enough to drink or bathe in.

Spring Pictures

I have had my camera with me the last two days on campus. Spring is here. I hope you enjoy these images.

Me and my shadow... looking murky at the duck pond.



One of the nice things about photo shop is that I can add colorizing filters to my picture.... here I am Indigo.



This filter is really the closest to the original color. How can the ducks and turtles swim in this?

Spring Fashions

SPRING FASHIONS @ UNM.

As the weather gets warmer

Hemlines continue to rise

Mouse Eras?

As I have observed the hemlines on campus I have seen an increasing number of women wearing caps with…. Ears. Yep. Ears. Generally fleece caps with ears. Mousy-types, catty ears, jaguar spots.... I’ve only had my camera with me once to catch one of these and with the warmer weather, it may not happen again. What do you think about this fashion trend?

As for me? I make fleece hats for children, so why not adult sizes, too? Would I wear one? Maybe. Perhaps, I should make a hat with antennae, so I can look more like an ant?

Spring Fashions @UNM

Feet. Shoes. Hemlines? What type of shoes does the average college co-ed at UNM wear? How much shorter are hemlines going to go? This has become my unofficial research project for Spring Semester. So far, I’ve taken pictures several times focusing on hemlines and shoes. The average Co-Ed (is that an obsolete word now?) wears your average pair of blue-jeans with tennis shoes or athletic shoes. Boots of any type run a close second to tennis shoes. However, there are a large percentage of women at UNM wearing short skirts or tunics with leggings or tights and ballerina flats, or some type of flat heeled shoe.



I wonder if there is a correlation between the shorter hemlines and the economy. The saying is something like; when hemlines go up, the economy improves. Right? Perhaps after Spring Break I will get brave and survey a few students about their opinion of the current fashions and whether they really do correlate with the economy.
