For Tim's EPJ project, he took video of him shaving his head. Here he is showing me the video while watching it again himself.

Squirrels!

I've been working on my project at the Columbia Cemetery and in the process I think I've managed to tick off a few squirrels. Here are a few of my photos...Enjoy!

I walked around the cemetery for about 45 minutes today while I had a break. I took a longer lens with me. I was hoping some people would be out but no such luck in that area. I was able to walk about half the cemetery just looking for neat stones, unique names, something different I guess. I don' t think I'll use any of these photos but just thought I would post some anyway. I did happen to see a headstone that had stones on top of it like we talked about in Picture Story today. I found that interesting and snapped a quick photo to post.

This is the headstone I found that had the rocks placed on it. As people visit, they place rocks on the headstone. As I understand this is Jewish tradition from our discussion in Picture Story today.

The cemetery is right next to Grant Elementary School and while I was walking, the kids were on the playground playing.

I love squirrels. I was happy I had a longer lens with me today so I could snap a picture of one. This one spotted me as he was sitting on top of a headstone.

And he spotted me again taking his picture, this time in a tree nearby.

Today, I decided to go work a bit on our class documentary project on Broadway. As some of you know I am covering the Columbia Cemetery. I knew they might be doing some work since there were two funerals today and I showed up at just the right time. I drove around and found Tanja working at one of the graves. I got out and snapped a few photos and talked to her. Her husband, Alan, was off getting some more fill dirt for the graves. I was excited to get to photograph this because I feel like this is something that people often don't get to see.

Tanja waits as her husband, Alan adds more fill dirt to top off the grave.

Tanja walks beside her husband as they head to the next task.

Alan lifts the plywood off the ground to make way for the dirt to come in.

Alan reaches down and adjusts the casket to make it straighter.

Tanja watches as her husband adds dirt to the grave.

Tanja works on evening out the dirt.

Tim was in the lab working on fixing something on one of his older cameras so I decided to snap a photo. He looks so focused on fixing his camera in this photo.

My parents and my aunt came to visit me today. I haven't been able to make it home at all this semester because I've been so busy with school work. My mom brought up some of my favorite things from home including vess soda. I love vess soda because it is cheap and tastes good too. I was so excited to get this, the cookies, malted milk balls, and pez candy from her.
