111: Theo buddies

It's my blog, I can do what I wanna: Breaking the rules and including two pictures today. Margaret (the beauty) and Adam (the debonair)—my theological partners in crime. Margaret and I went through grad school together, from starting class to ending one. Adam is professor of black theology and his class is the reason I attend his church!

Last night was our annual graduate student alumni reunion dinner at Xavier. Topic: Bruce Springsteen's "The Rising" as model of theological response to 9/11.

Big day yesterday! Jacob and Johannah took turns taking pictures. Here's the tagged set that takes you start to finish through our day.

Margaret and I walked together. She's still got a bit more to do, but that degree is within shouting distance. (Keep going Margaret!)

I had a wonderful day top to bottom. Here are two more photos that I want to include:

My aunt June and me.

Our bricks. :)

Had my meeting with Dr. Gollar today to discuss my thesis. Due April 1. Tonight we're having a whole slew of X kids over for lasagna and "Catch Phrase" so I've got to go cook!

Here's today's self portrait, too. It was effin' cold!


I posted the icicles photo above after rethinking it. :) Thanks for the encouragement ladies.

For those interested: Xavier University

I created two sets of photos in "slideshow view" today. I took a set of photos from a variety of perspectives to look at ways I could create arrangements of random objects for greatest impact. The first picture in the slideshow series is a "boring" shot that I used to set the context for the way I then worked with the environment to create a more interesting composition. I call this set: "Study in rakes and brooms."



Then the other set is my attempt to capture Xavier University while seeking the best b&w shot. In the end, I liked more of these photos in color so left them alone.



These are just for fun.
