Pacific Rim Photography Exhibition

Digital Photography Exhibition Dates Announced

LYNCHBURG. The dates have been finalized for a first ever exhibition of its type at Virginia’s own Liberty University. The IMAGES OF THE PACIFIC RIM exhibition will run from September 15th through October 15th on the Liberty campus.

What makes this exhibition is that the photographers are expatriate workers who live in restricted access countries in the Pacific Rim. Identities are not revealed and the four artists are only known by their initials, DT, SS, GD, TK and DH. Well over 50 high quality images will be exhibited on the 2nd floor of DeMoss Learning Center in the ILRC area.

The exhibition is jointly sponsored by Liberty’s Department of Communication Studies, Visual Communication and Arts major and the Center for Global Ministry. Liberty University was founded by the Rev Jerry Falwell. LU has 9800 residential students and over 14000 enrolled in its distance learning program.

Details of the exhibition as well as profiles of the artists can be found on http://pacificrim-images.blogspot.com.

Labor Day in Korea

Today Sam and I took advantage of a beautiful afternoon and headed to Susong Lake. This manmade pond is a popular resort area in Daegu. We walked around for a few hours thoroughly enjoying the cool weather. Korea has a knack for adding health benefits to just about everything. On the pathway around the lake we came across an interesting way to receive reflexology while you walk. In the middle of the path was a secondary path of tiny rocks. Walking across them in shoes feels nice but after seeing an older woman going at it with bare feet we thought, "When in Rome." OUCH, it hurt and we thought it best to receive our "foot massages, “with our shoes on. Then we saw some birds and I got attacked by a water fountain, as seen in the pictures below. Next Sam and I headed home to get ready for a night on the town. After two years we finally found Indian food in Daegu. We had only been there once before with our friends prior to my trip to California but had forgotten where it was and had no way of asking for directions. Surprisingly we found it without any trouble and enjoyed a wonderful meal of curry and naan. After dinner we got some coffee and strolled around downtown. All in all a good day and that is always something to share.

Hello and Welcome

Welcome to the new edition of the S&J Edition. This is our area to tell you what were doing, thinking and whatever else comes into our heads. We are anything but politically correct and will probably offend more that a few readers but I believe in speaking your mind. After all, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." Dr. Seuss.
