Returning now to my travelogue series on my trip to Gonzaga University, it is impossible to visit Gonzaga without running into the Bulldog. Ergo, my montage of the bulldog, including the video where I pose with the bulldog and find out how hot all that metal gets in the midday sun.
Today's travelogue is going to be the campus tour. You are shown around a whole bunch of building that look impressive, you remember a lot of things about them, not always what you were actually told, and you forget even more than you remember.
Part Three of my Travelogue to Gonzaga University is on bicycles. Spokane and Gonzaga both seem to be part of a very bicycle friendly zone. The riverfront part has trails with zones marked "wheels only", places where bicycles go, and places for pedestrians. If you look on the Gonzaga campus, there are bicycle racks everywhere. … Continue reading Gonzaga — Bicycle Haven
Today's episode of my Spokane/Gonzaga travelogue is about signs. I noticed a lot of signs around the Gonzaga campus, enough to make a video montage from the footage I shot. The wall you see scanned, that looks like it has graffiti over it, has an interesting history. Apparently it was originally put up to keep … Continue reading Gonzaga in Signs
Today is going to be a quick promotional for my Alma Mater -- Houghton College. In this story the announcement is made that President Shirley Mullen was elected to another 4-year term as college president. She has already served 9 years. Now Houghton College has a long history of long terms for presidents. They have … Continue reading Mullen continues tradition of excellence
I use a lot of photos, and find I can get most of the edits that I need with Picasa (TM) -- mostly thhrough the "I'm Feeling Lucky" edit option -- but I do adjust angles, rotate, crop, etc. But for class they are having us learn GIMP, because its freeware, and more powerful. Well … Continue reading GIMPing along with GIMP
Well, this one is an interesting twist: I have been instructed to play around with video editing for my master's class. We needed to take a 4 minute furnished video and cut it into a 30-60 second video that has titles, transitions, photos, etc. The key is to play with the functionality of the software … Continue reading Playing around — for Class
For such a big landmark event is life, it is amazing how it seems to be truncated down to these particular 12 photos (okay, probably 13 if we include the official graduation picture we purchased). The event is called commencement for a reason -- it is the beginning of something -- though we usually think … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #8 — College Graduation
In my day, at least, there was a traditional "senior skip" excursion by the seniors before graduation. But as someone noted, we students at Houghton didn't actually skip any classes. We just took off between the end of finals and the beginning of the graduation weekend. Some complained that if it was senior skip, we should … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #7 — Senior Skip
Blast #5 mentioned the loss of a lot of film. Which puts the date of this next album into question. This is an album of pictures from a college choir concert at Houghton my senior year. That would make it either the Homecoming concert right after the tour, or the Parent's concert of graduation weekend. Something … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #6 — Which concert?
