Nick and I shot the football game today. A 12:30 start was great, natural instead of stadium light. Much brighter.

UO Celebrates Earth Day

Students swarmed through the University’s Earth Day celebration at the EMU, attracted by sunny afternoon weather, more than 20 energetic campus groups and environmental advocacy organizations, and the solar-powered music of local band Rare Monk. The group performed a diverse variety of tunes for the crowd of curious students sitting on the amphitheater steps – everything from their own high-powered, violin-fueled headbangers to a lilting cover of Bob Marley.
