On north side of The University of Georgia campus behind the Chapel is this old bell tower. A rope hangs down and is ready to be rung…..

No series of the University of Georgia campus would be complete without a picture of the Arch located on north campus. Students aren’t suppose to go under the Arch until after they graduate. Hence… the two students veering to the side as they pass by the Arch.

Pictured here is the main library at the University of Georgia. This library is located on North Campus and is surrounded by large mature trees.

As an undergraduate, way back in the late 80’s, I spent hours and hours on the top floor of this library sifting through their large collection of art and photography books. It was here I daydreamed about and later planned on visiting art museums around the world. This library was the place I learned about other cultures and ideas….this naturally fostered a love for traveling.

Needless to say this is a very special place for me and I have very fond memories from my time spent under its roof. Hopefully in the near future I’ll get to see that top floor again….and spend some time daydreaming about other cultures….ideas….places….and plan a trip to a new place I haven’t visited yet.

included this view in the series because of the claw like tree in the front….

See ya on the top floor….

Started a new job this past October…and the learning curve has been a douse. But life goes on and we must adapt…or make some sort of effort at it.

The hardest adjustment was going from being virtually outside all day to being cooped up in a windowless office behind a computer screen…. Yes, some of you know my pain.

Anyways….there are some saving graces to my new job.

• It’s at a major American University
• I get to attend art and museum lectures almost every week during my lunch break
• Today went to listen to the Universities music professors play
• Get to spend many lunch breaks outside surrounded by a beautiful environment on an energetic campus

That last point has been a spring board for my next photo project. I have been been snapping pictures with my Nikon and am ready to share a few of them with you…. Gonna call this project “Campus Life + Black and White.”

The first picture to launch this new body of work is of the iconic Sanford Stadium….

I am in no way a football type person…but know and love many people who are….however I did fall in love with the massiveness of the Stadium sign…It is a hulk of a thing and dwarfs anyone who passes in front of it…ie the top picture…see how little the gal walking by is.

The bottom picture was back-lit with the sun which managed to twinkle a few rays across the front. Makes the concrete structure seem breathless with life.

So stop by every once in a while to catch glimpses of this UGA project….hope you find some inspiration and beauty in it.

On Instagram there is a young Parisian by the name vutheara. He is a young designer and photographer….and his photographs are of beautiful Parisian streets…usually early morning shots casting long shadows of perfectly placed cyclists or lovely pedestrians.

Inspired by his photographs I set out for the prettiest town near my home….Athens, Georgia. The University of Georgia makes its home there and North Campus has a charm of its own…

These two photos were taken in front of the Chapel…the sun was right over the building and made for interesting lighting…

These is the Academic Building….
