Al Bowman Photo Essay for The DV

In Dr. Bowman's four years at Illinois State University, he has pursued funding for numerous construction and renovation projects to improve ISU.  Under his presidency the average ACT score for applicants to ISU has reached 25.2 for 2009.  He has continued his goal of transforming ISU into a "public ivy" league school.

These photos show a personal look into the life of ISU President Al Bowman

What was on my "Mystery Roll"

When I returned from Paris this summer I developed all my film except one roll of black and white 120, because the place I drop my film off cost extra to do black and white. Since I'm cheap, I decided to do it myself.  I forgot what was on this roll, and it sat in my apartment for a 5 months.  When I had a chance to develop it, I had no idea what was on it.  I was so happy with the results. 
I used my Yashica A, which has no meter and sometimes doesn't work very well, so I was pumped that they all turned out.

Willennium Falcon

I've been really busy with work and being 21, it's crazy.

Also, there is a new addition to my photo arsenal.  I have the Mamiya RZ67 on loan from the Communication Department.  This thing weighs a ton.  
The New Addition
I've only ran one roll of 120 through it, but I'll do a few more this week.  
Below, Michael let me test it out on him.
