Bill Jenkins (center), photography faculty member, and Bucky Miller (left), BFA candidate in photography, converse at the opening for Miller’s solo exhibition, "Today’s Special," as Jacob Meders (right), faculty associate, and David Adams, MFA candidate in photography, look on. Miller’s exhibition marks nearly two years of traveling the country with a pocket-sized digital camera. The sequence – edited down from thousands of images – employs the photograph's metaphorical capabilities to adjoin disparate subject matters ranging from the monumental to the mundane. It will be on view at the Step Gallery through Oct. 7.

The winds that lowered temperatures in the Valley made for some sporty kite-flying weather and allowed music education major Laura Cardy to break her parrot kite out of the trunk of her car and fly it in the Gammage Parking lot. "It's never windy at home," she said, "but it's windy here." English linguistics student Rebekah Layton (right), one of Cardy’s friends, joined in on the fun.
