Finally catching a break...
I'm moving to Santa Fe in January. Why? I will be interning at The Santa Fe New Mexican. It took 6 months of harassing the newspaper's photo editor... and now I'm leaving Las Cruces and it's sunshine a little over a month, but don't worry... I will be back.

Volleyball is over...
I shot the whole WAC Volleyball Tournament before the break. I have some exciting news also, but I will wait a little longer before I make my official statement... So look at this until then.

I have someone special that I would like you to meet..
Introducing Jennifer, my sister. Isn't she pretty? I followed her around for a few days taking photos of the things she does. Why? Because hopefully I will be leaving soon, and I'm trying to spend some time with someone who is particularly important to me. And I took pictures.
Here's a photo that really tells a lot about her. She's been dancing since the day she was born it seems. She's practiced many forms of dance. There is a suitcase in her room that is filled with point shoes, taps shoes, flamenco shoes, jazz shoes, and ballroom shoes. If I had as many Jimmy Choo shoes as she does dance shoes then I would be in heaven but in some serious credit card debt.
My sister also his a huge Audrey Hepburn fan, and here's a quick fact, Audrey Hepburn was quite the dancer too.
Here's another thing that Jen does. She's an art student. Here she is taking a break from her painting (that's it behind her). The apron she's wearing was from when she worked at a coffee house the last few years of high school. I guess she uses it as a painting smock now...
She's giggling and telling me about the time when the guy in the workstation next to her accidentally took a swig of paint thinner. Apparently, he put his drink a little too close to the container that he used to hold his mineral spirits. Don't worry, he's okay... but my sister's humor might be questionable. Mine might be too because the story gave me quite a laugh as well.
I still have more time to spend with my sister... that might give me a few more photos to put up.

Press Conference: Aggies are Tough Enough to Wear Pink
*NMSU Athletics Press Release*
Las Cruces, N.M.-The NMSU Aggies ARE Tough Enough to Wear Pink! Are you tough enough to wear pink? That is the question posed by NMSU Head Football Coach Hal Mumme and his wife June. On September 29th Aggie fans will be seeing pink and lots of it, to fight a deadly disease. In 1996, June was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her treatment included a lumpectomy, followed a week later by a mastectomy, six months of chemotherapy and five years of continued treatment. Since then Hal and June have been actively involved in breast cancer awareness and fundraising activities.
In a unique opportunity, the New Mexico State Athletics Department has agreed to designate the football game on September 29th against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, as a breast cancer awareness initiative and fundraiser. Coach Mumme has brought together Four Honorary Chair-Women for this event, all with strong ties to New Mexico State University and all cancer survivors; Magella Boston (wife of Athletics Director Dr. McKinley Boston), Laura Conniff (Currently Chair of the NMSU Regents), June Mumme (wife of head football coach Hal Mumme) and Pat Sisbarro (wife of car dealer Lou Sisbarro).
The proceeds generated by this event will be used to fund breast cancer and women's cancer research project, conducted by UNM Cancer Center and New Mexico State University Department of Chemistry and Biology. This initiative is being conducted in partnership with ‘Cowboys For Cancer Research’.
“The response has been wildly overwhelming,” Coach Mumme said. “It has put a kind and giving, female face on football!! Breast cancer has touched many lives, including players, trainers and coaches. Fans and supporters are anxious to get involved in anyway possible.”
Game Events include:
* Gigantic pink ribbons painted in the end zones
* NMSU football coaches dressed in pink shirts
* Skydivers presenting a pink check to Cowboys for Cancer Research during half-time
* NMSU Band wearing Pink t-shirts

With Broken Lighting Equipment
I broke my strobe. So I had to do this assignment with house lamps. Kind of a different definition of available light. They didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. I'm sad...
