Music soothes the savage beast...namely me.

I am not sure if other Universities have procrastination days or weeks, but NMSU does. It's a time when you are supposed to blow off finals/term papers and just relax. I never seem to really enjoy this excuse to blow off school. This year being my last year in college and being giving an assignment to shoot it, I took the time to sit back and listen to the band that our Student Union's program council invited to play.Their name is PBM or Poor Boy Music, they had this ska type feel to them. They are a pretty good band and listening to them for about an hour really did help my stress level,anyway this is Tom Torrento he is the trumpeter and back up vocals for the band.
After shooting this assignment I drove back to El Paso, Tx which is my new base of operations for the next few months. I moved out of my apartment in Las Cruces this past weekend, I am pretty excited about this little move if all goes right it will lead to some good shooting gigs. Then in August with what money I have I make a big move to Seattle to regain something that has been missing for about a year.

T - minus 5,4,3...

Met up with the News Editor of the Bulletin at about 4:15 am Saturday. We drove out to Hatch, climbed aboard buses and were taken to the viewing area of Spaceport America. A rocket was being launched that morning with the remains of Star Trek star James Doohan and Apollo 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper, along with a few other remains. The rocket launched and reached its pre-orbital destination before falling back to earth and landing at White Sands Missile Range. It was one of the more interesting assignments I have had lately.

Take Back the Night...

Tuesday the wellness, alcohol,violence and education program or WAVE hosted the third annual "Take back the Night" rally here at New Mexico State University . "Take back the Night" was started in the 1970's in England when women wanted to protest against the fear that women felt walking in the streets at night. They had a pretty good turn out for the rally . It is always good to see communities come together to bring awareness to problems that concern everyone.

In this first photo, Perla Subi marches down University Avenue during the rally while other demonstrators chanted, "No sex without consent."

The Greeks are coming...

UTEP Invitational & NMSU Spring Training...

Shot the UTEP Invitational Saturday and NMSU spring training it was fun and kind of sad. This could be the last time I shoot NMSU football and it has always been one of my favorite sports to shoot.
