In addition to the piping replacement, parking garage construction and redesigning of the campus entrance, the school is also remodeling the chemistry building, which has not been updated for decades.

Part Two - Location Photo Story

This photo was taken shooting downward. The water was almost knee-deep.

This photo was taken about 18 inches from the ground. I set the camera on the ledge of the fountain and took the picture.

This is the photo of me, also taken from a downward angle. The sun was bright, so it was difficult to keep my eyes open for very long.

Photo by Nicole Hall

This should give an idea as to where in the fountain I was standing. Steen Library was to my right.

This was another photo taken about 18 inches from the ground. It is the engraving of the statue's artist. I had never noticed this before I stepped in the fountain.

This was the view I had of Surfin' Steve when I looked up.

This was the view when I pivoted slightly to the left. The education building is behind his boot.

Here is a full shot of my location, the Surfin' Steve statue. I was standing to right of the statue in the water.

Hendrix Wedding--A Photo Story

Cristina and Fred put wives' tales aside to see each other before the wedding. She tried to pin on Fred's boutonniere, but the photographer ultimately had to take over the duty.

Cristina wanted her dog May to be in the wedding photos. Fred's feelings for Cristina are apparent, as he cannot even take his eyes off his bride when the dog is around.
