cate creme eae WESTERN CAROLINIAN April 24 - May | , 2009 ARTS AND. ENTERTAINMENT From Staff Reports New Photographers is an exhibition featuring a selection of 15 photographs from the portfolios of Julie Breckenridge (BS in art education with photography concentration), Maureen Moxley (BFA photography) and Sarah Haynes (BFA photography). The students will be graduating from the School of Art and Design in May 2009. Cathryn Griffin, Professor of Photography at WCU, notes that the works are about human perception. Every time you look at the images you are going to notice something new because we experience the world day by day, with a new vision every time. The concept of the ephemeral, of capturing the perfect instant is a recurring theme in the works of these three talented artists. Julie Breckenridge hopes to teach elementary art and remain active in her photography pursuits. She says that she does not takes photographs, but makes pictures. Julie states New Photographers Exhibition to be held at Hunter Library that her photographs dont yield all that they have to offer in a glance but rather sustain and perhaps increase their initial appeal with repeated viewings. After graduating, Maureen Moxley wants to pursue a career in photojournalism and in the meantime continue with her freelance endeavors. She works the final image through lighting issues, changing environments, technical difficulties and composing to capture that moment in time. She is interested in representing the struggle of people, especially children. Sarah Haynes combines her passion for aviation with photography. The use of oblique horizontal techniques allows her to produce descriptive and at the same time pictorial images. Sarah plans on working with the Belk company while pursuing a freelance photography business dealing mostly in aerial work. The art works are on view from May 4 to August 1, 2009 in the first floor of Hunter library in the media center, Please check library hours at: http://www.wcu.edu/1643.asp Below are a few of the photos thats will be showcased at the New Photographers exhibition. By Catherine Connor Staff Writer During the week long festivities of the Literary Festival this spring, I was fortunate to hear a reading from Scott Hulers latest book, No Mans Land. A journalist and previous National Public Radio (NPR) contributor, Scott Huler is said to have written about everything from the death penalty to bikini wax. No Mans Land is a book about Hulers quest to trace the route of Homers Odyssey through the Mediterranean while relating the story of Odysseus to Hulers mid- life crisis. The idea for the book started with a bet Huler made with himself. He announced on his public radio show All Things Considered that he would forever give up trying to read James Joyces Ulysses (the Latin name for Odysseus). This, humorously, ends up putting him with a Ulysses reading group. Huler claims that this group led him to re- explore The Odyssey to the point of obsession. Eventually, he came to realize that retracing the steps of Odysseus would be the crisis of his mid-forties. After all, Odysseus was also in his mid-forties, Huler reasoned. Perhaps this story is a work meant to speak to people in their forties, so why not take the trip? x The only problem was no one knows where it was that Odysseus and his crew supposedly traveled. You meet three types of people, Huler noted. The first feels that it is a true belief? where you must consult all elements of nature to figure out where the boat traveled, Scott Huler at WCUs Literary Festival: Revisiting the Travels of Odysseus the second believe it is just a story and the third are reasonable and think that the boat traveled in the West Mediterranean according to accurate historical events. Huler decided to just wing it. He traveled throughout the entire western Mediterranean, landing in places he could only suppose were the Island of the Lotus Eaters and the seas of Scylla and Charybdis. What Huler discovered on this journey was how much the Odyssey applies to living a good life and being a better boss, teacher, parent and a better person all around. Huler read a section about the difficulties of traveling on a whim with no reservations. His writing style was light-hearted and humorous yet each word had a journalistic presence and sense of purpose in his book. I enjoyed how Huler used Homers story as a metaphor for life and used humor as a means to relay his writing. His story is a modern epic that can be likened to Beowulf or the humor to that of Chaucers Canterbury Tales. 1 completely enjoyed his writing and performance, I enjoyed it so much | bought the book and honestly it was worth it. -' Top: Maureen Moxley; Bottom Left to Right: Sarah Haynes , Julie Breckenridge Photos Submitted Student Housing Leasing Professional Needed for Catamount Peak Apartments.
