Campus Tour

So since school started yesterday, and it was such a nice day, I finished up the roll of Tri-X that was on my Voigt. Just biked around and took some shots of buildings and light and stuff. Nothing street, really. Students here aren't really street material...yet. I'm sure I'll find photos eventually.

But I'm going to really try to shoot film from now on. Digital is fine, and sure it's cheaper, but it's not the same feel. I'll use it for everything but street. So like nature and stuff I never do haha. But no, I'm sure I'll use it. I love that camera...and hopefully my next camera, I'll love even more.

I wonder if I told the story of the crazy raccoon on my blog, or if it was on deviantART. Well either way, I was going out to see some friends and I had my voigt. Went outside and saw the usual person or two wandering by, and then I see this object moving around in the bike racks. A raccoon was just chillin out there, trying to get out. I tried to take some photos, but it was pitch black so it was hard. Got this one either way. Walked on, and when I came back, and in my room, the thing was screaming like crazy. about 10 people were trapped from their rooms with the raccoon between them and their rooms.

Scary.


Psych dept. door at night.
Has a ghostly feel to it.
But I still love this campus. So beautiful. Even in black and white, which is not typical for nature.

EMU if you can see it. 
Just a lamp post, and some bike racks.
Lots of bikes in Eugene.
Lots.
New York and Eugene are the two places that have the highest bike theft in the world. 
I have a bike lock. Yeah.


This is the next day, right next to the Humpy Lumpy Lawn outside of Hamilton. Great spot. Cozy, but I've found mine. I'm sure you'll be able to see some shots of it eventually. I will tomorrow. Promise. In IDelta 400 though.


Asked my mom to send the last few rolls of film that I left in the fridge. 
I think there's a veliva 50 in there.
That would be great.


Humpy Lumpy Lawn again.
Another nice garden. This is just kitty corner to historic Hayward Field.


I really hope she does send the Velvia 50. 
Apparently the wife of an important figure at UO (Can't think of it off the top of my head, maybe first pres's wife) was a Botanist, and planted many gardens, and many rare plants and trees. I hear that one of the trees behind the Knight Library is one of only 100 in the world.


Bean complex. O's on every window. Mine too.


I went up to the Graduate village, just to check it out. Just outside of campus, on the side where there is nothing important.




Bean again. It's a really really big and tall complex. Hamilton is bigger, but doesn't look bigger because there's like 10 wings.


LLC South. The new dorm. Apparently has cockroaches and walls that don't go up to the ceiling. Wow.
But it's technologically better. Wifi where I only have ethernet in the dorms, and they have special keys. Woo. don't care. I like Burgess.


EMU Ampitheater. This is the Campus Radio booth. They had it there for one day, idk if they usually keep it there. Good music.


Kids sitting listening to the radio in the Ampitheater. 5 feet away from the last one.


Administration building aka Johnson Hall.

Just down the ave. 


Lots of bikes. And this is just one of like 5 bike racks in this area. All full.


Down the Quad. Behind me is the Lillis Business Complex, and right through the trees there is the Knight Library. Such a great place to just sit and relax with friends on a sunny day.

I guess you could call this street.
You tell me.


Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Haven't been in yet, but I will soon, I'm sure.


And finishing off with what could be that tree I was talking about. 
Such a beautiful campus. If you can come, do it now. Leaves are turning, and it will only get better.

Good news though. I said a while ago that my flash cord broke....again. And it did. The cords came detached from the ends. So, I sent it into Dot Dotson's, (They developed these photos), and hopefully they can figure it out. I won't be angry if they don't though. I don't expect them to. It's difficult work. I'll be very pleased if they do though. Ha.

Thanks for reading, and if you can, stop by my uber page so Uber can get some more traffic, and not die off. You can, of course, check out other blogs too. I have links to Chris Weeks', Brian Webb's, and Scott Alexander's blogs on Uber. Great photographers. More links are on my page as well.
