Spring Break update
Andrew Dickinson
I spent my spring break in the midwest. It’s not the most exciting or thrilling location, but there is always somewhere you haven’t been. I spent the first half of break in Ames, Iowa, and the second half of break in Overland Park, Kan., where I grew up. Just driving around town while I was home, I found neighborhoods I hadn’t taken the time to drive through and saw the light throughout my house in different ways. The make-up photo is taken in my sisters room, lit by a lamp with an orange shade around it in a dark room. The dog photo is lit in the way most of what I shot over break was – under an overcast sky. The (relatively) cold temperatures held break back from truly feeling like spring, but time off from school is always refreshing this time of year.

Over spring break I went back to my hometown of Omaha. The first order of business was the Lady Gaga concert on March 17, 2011 at the Qwest Center. My roommate, Michelle Clifford, and I stood in line for hours in order to ensure good spots in general admission. We ended up being right on the rail!!! We were so close that we could see her teeth and freckles. I was so happy I could have died. On March 23, 2011 I went to the Old Market, specifically Ted and Wally’s, with three friends. My friend Season Cowley ended up getting her tragus pierced that night. After all the shops closed, we went back to my house, and my parents fed everyone gumbo. Yum! The Friday before coming back to Lincoln, I went bowling for Derek Steven’s birthday. My boyfriend, Mike Bristol, won me a pink teddy bear (mainly because he was too stubborn to quit the game until he could beat it), but I appreciated it anyway!

I spent my spring break sleeping in and catching up with class work. I spent one night shooting baseball in really nice sunset light, the light hitting memorial stadium was exactly the same exposure of the field, so I took advantage of it. The second photo is on an unidentified girl who skipped in front of my subject, a profile I’m working on, at I caught her in mid air. Otherwise, a fairly un-eventfull break.

My break was spent in the happy valley where it is truly a “happy valley.” A reporter and I are working on an in-depth project on the college which was the last to be brought into the Big Ten, which Nebraska will now be a part of. We were lucky enough to meet the lovely folks of the Daily Collegian, a pacemaker finalist, and just plain amazing paper. We spent time with Liz Murphy (pictured above, not the lion) and her staffers and we thoroughly enjoyed our time and learning what we could in our short period of time.
