Photo exhibit captures scenes of Grand Canyon journey

If you want to take a scenic trip this summer but don't have enough time or money to leave the state, do the next best thing. Take a trip to the Donna Nigh Gallery in the University Center.

There, visitors can view the beauty of what some consider nature's miracle—the Grand Canyon, in a photo presentation by university students.

Through July 31, the gallery will serve as tour guide for those who want to explore the natural splendor of the Grand Canyon and other surrounding areas through pictures.

The exhibit, "Grand Canyon Calls," is free to all UCO students, faculty and staff and is open to the public.

It is on the second floor of the University Center, between the Heritage Room and the Graduate Office. "I was really very excited to see the images. When we had the opening it was like going (to the Grand Canyon) again," said Dr. Bob Palmer, chairman of the visual art and design department, who led the student group on the tour. "I encourage everyone to check it out and take time looking at each photograph. Some of the images require close observation and time to see it all. It's worth it."

Twenty-four students from UCO's photography club, f/64 Society, and the Art and Design Group combined their color, black and white and mixed media photos to form the display.

They captured their subject matter on film last March, during a 32-hour, round-trip spring break trip through Arizona and New Mexico

Palmer said the exhibit is a great way for those who've never been to the canyon to experience the natural wonder— through someone else's eyes.

John Robertson, freshman, who recently visited the display, agreed. "It was cool. I went to the Grand Canyon and areas around (Arizona) when I was little, and the pictures brought back a lot of memories," he said. "Someone who never went there could spend an hour in the gallery, just looking at things, and be very impressed. I'll want to buy a couple of the pictures; they're great."

UCO students and others whose works are featured include: Yoke-Meng Chan, ShuYa Chang, Debbie Currie, Zina Gelona, Stephen Hughes, Dean Hyde, Catherine Johnson, Chris Landsberger, Pimporn Langley, Lori Sheltman, Suzanne Underwood, Michael Vaughn, Judith Vice, Shirley Wilson, Brent Wyatt, Denise Wynia, Kent Yockey and Mark Zimmerman.

Dr. David Elmendorf, assistant biology professor, and Palmer also contributed.
