1 Claim. (Cl. 206-62) This invention relates to jackets or albums for phonograph records.
Broadly, it is an object of the invention to provide a substantially square jacket or envelope for a phonograph record which is substantially dust-proof and which permits the phonograph record to be easily withdrawn and inserted therein.
More particularly, it is an object of the invention to provide a drawer-like phonograph record jacket which safely houses and protects the phonograph record while permitting easy access to the phonograph record so that it can be safely withdrawn and inserted into the jacket.
It is well-known that it is very important to keep phonograph records free of dust since dust impairs the fidelity of the sound transcription and creates added friction and wear causing the record to deteriorate more rapidly than when the record is carefully housed in a jacket which prevents dust from entering the jacket. Since it is important to keep'the phonograph records free of dust, various means have been used to house and store phonograph records dust-free, such as the placing of each phonograph record in a plastic envelope before housing it in a jacket with three sealed edges. This bulks the housing with consequent loss of storing space; adds to the cost of storing phonograph records and increases the time of handling such phonograph records by a user. In the jackets or housings herein provided the use of such plastic envelopes is eliminated since the phonograph records are stored fiat in a substantially dust-free drawerlike housing.
By eliminating the use of plastic envelopes for phonograph records, the use of this jacket saves space, cost of the plastic envelopes and time in handling of the phonograph records when being used.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference is had to the following de tailed description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

In the following specification and claim, the invention will be referred to as a-jacket although the item may be called a housing, closure, envelope or'album.
Referring to the drawings,-specifically Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, numeral 20 represents aphonograph record jacket comprising an outer thin envelope or housing 21 within which a drawer-like slide 22 is adapted to move. The envelope 21 is sealed on three sides, the fourth side being open a to receive the drawer-like slide 22. The back end23 of envelope 21--hasan inserted back bone or spine 24 which is a narrow'strip of cardboard pasted adjacent one inner edge of the cardboard of the jacket, preferably along the full height or width of the jacket to provide a flat leading'edge and somewhat wider edge surface for the printing of the title of the record stored Within thejacket. The spine '24 also provides greater The envelope 21 is very similar to envelopes-now being used in the phonograph record field; except that it may be desirable in some instances, for the purposes hereinafter described, to provide the backend 23 with a small ribbon finger piece 25.
Frimariiy the invention resides in the drawer-like slide 22 in combination with envelope- 21. The bottom or platform 26 of the slide 22 is-preferably made of a substantially rigid cardboard-with a slight degree of flexibility. Of course, bottom 26 may also be made of plastic or like material with the desired degree of rigidity and flexibility. At the front of platform 26 and extending transversely across the front edge is astop and sealing member 27 which closes the opening of theenvelope 21 when the drawer-like slide 22 is in closed position, as shown in Fig. l. The stop and sealing-member 27 may be of a piece of cardboard pasted-or glued upon the leading edge of platform 26, or may be of plastic'or metal to bend back upon itself. At the rear corners of platform 26 a pair of opposed stop members 28 are glued which are arcuately cut at 29 along the same are as the outer circumference of phonograph record 30 and members 2r; act as rear stops when the phonograph record 3% is placed upon platform26; Since the stop and sealing member 27 rises above the upper surface of'platform 26 the rear edge of member 27 also acts as a front stop for the phonograph record 30. A ribbon finger piece 31 may be attached at the center of the front of slide2 2so that the drawer-like slide may be more readily pulled'oiitof the envelope 21. However, it is believed that the ribbon 31 as well as the ribbon 25 may be eliminated, if desired, since the fingers can readily grasp the sealing member 27 while the fingers of the other hand can easily hold the back end 23 and the same will not be compressed because of the back bone or spine 24 which lies transversely across the back thus, the phonograph record 30 will not be retarded in its travel out of the envelope 21.
In order to be sure that the slide 22 is not removed from the envelope 21 a ribbon or fabric strip 32 is pasted or attached to the back of the platform 26 at one end by any well known means such as a strip of adhesive tape 33 while the opposite end of the strip 32 is attached adjacent the inner portion of the leading edge 34 of envelope 21 so that the slide 22 can be pulled out of the envelope 21 only up to a predetermined point. This assures that the phonograph record 30 will not drop off the slide 22. Of course, the strip 32 may be attached to the slide and envelope by any other well-known means, such as pasting with an adhesive.
In Figs. to 10, inclusive, there is shown a number of modifications, all of which are stop means for seating or stopping the phonograph or positioning the phonograph record upon the platform 26. In Fig. 5 the cardboard of the platform 46 is scored at the back end 43 so that it may be turned back upon itself with the rear end 35 glued to an inserted spine or back bone 36 which in turn is glued to the platform 46 at the rear thereof. The central portion is arcuately cut as shown at 49 along the same are as the outer circumferences of the phonograph record so that the phonograph record will be securely seated along this arcuately cut edge 49. The spine or back bone 36 is also arcuately cut to coincide with the arcuate edge 49, thus permitting the phonograph record 30 to seat itself against both the spine 36 and the rear end 35. The front of the slide shown in Fig. 5 has a stop and sealing member 47, the same as that shown in Fig.2.
In Fig. 6, the slide is the same as that shown in Figs. 2 and 5, except that the back end 37 has a stop member 48 in the form of a transverse strip which may be of cardboard, metal, plastic or like material and which may be straight, as shown, or arcuately cut in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 5. The front stop and sealing member 57 is the same as that shown in Figs. 2 and 5.
The modified slide shown in Fig. 7 is the same as Fig. 2 in its front portion including the front stop and sealing member (not shown) except that the rear end of the slide has cut-out portions scored along lines 38 so that the stop members 39 may be folded upwardly and glued to the upper surface of the platform 56 creating a pair of opposed stop members which are in the correct position to act as stops for the phonograph record 30. It will be noted that the stop members 39 are arcuately cut at the portion where the phonograph record will abut stop members 39 to create a better seat for the phonograph record.
Figs. 8 and 8A show the back end only of a modified slide and show a pair of opposed eyelets or grommets 40 which are positioned adjacent the rear edge of the slide and act as stops for the edge of the phonograph record.
In Figs. 9 and there is also shown only the back end of a modified slide; this back end being compressed towards the upper portion of the slide creating a serpentine corrugated ridge 41 which acts as a stop for the outer circumferential edge of a phonograph record. The corrugated ridge 41 extends only along the rear edge and transversley of the slide.
Fig. 11 shows another modified slide and envelope to house a phonograph record. The envelope 51 is the same in all respects as the envelope 21 except that adjacent the upper open edge there is a stop member 50 which is a cardboard strip glued to the inner upper edge. The slide 52 is the same in all respects. as the slide 22 shown in Fig. 2 except that at it rea edge there is a stop and seating member 55 and the width of the slide is somewhat narrower. The stop and seating member 55 extends slightly beyond the opposed edges of the slide 52 and extends above the upper surface of the platform or slide 52 so that the inner edge 54 of member 55 stops against the front stop 50, thus preventing the slide 52 from leaving the envelope 51. The stop member 55 which extends above the level of the upper face of the slide 52 also acts as a stop and seat for the phonograph record when it lies upon the slide 52. The stop and sealing member 67, attached to the ront of the slide 52, acts in the same manner as heretofore described for the slide 22 and member 27. The slides of Figs. 5 and 6 may also be used in the same manner as described for Fig. ll.
In Fig. 11B, I have shown a cross section of still another modified slide which is used in a manner similar to the slide shown in Figs. 11 and 11A. This slide 62 has a pair of opposed cardboard strips 65, 66 glued transversely along the rear end on the upper and back surfaces of slide 62, and a pair of opposed cardboard strips 68, 69 glued transversely along the front end on the upper and back surfaces of slide 62. Along the inner upper and lower edges of the envelope 70 strips of cardboard 71, 72 are also glued transversely of the envelope. When the jacket is in closed position, as shown, front strips 68, 69 seal the front of the envelope 70 against dust. When the jacket is opened, the rear strips 65, 66 abut and stop at the front strips 71, 72 thus preventing the slide 62 from leaving the envelope 70. Strips 71, 72 may be made wider than shown to stop slide 62 sooner. The jackets of Figs. 11, 11A and 118 may have front and back op posed ribbon finger pieces, if desired.
Referring to Figs. 12 to 15, inclusive, numeral represents still another modified jacket comprising an outer envelope or housing 81 within which a drawer-like slide 82 is adapted to move. Envelope 81 is sealed on three sides, the fourth or front side being open to receive the slide 82. The back or rear end 83 has a spine like 24 of Fig. 3. The inner back or bottom has a cardboard member 84 spot-glued thereto which coacts with the cardboard member shown in Fig. 15, as hereinafter described. Member 82 has a pair of opposite tabs 85, 86 which are inserted into channels or slits 87, 88 of member 84 and slide therein. A rear stop member 89 in the form of a cardboard strip is glued transversely along the rear upper edge and acts as a stop for the phonograph record. A stop and sealing member 90 is attached transversely along the upper face and front edge of slide 82 and acts as a stop against the open side of the envelope 8]. and as a front stop for the phonograph record. When slide 82 is extended and to insure that it will not leave the envelope the channels 87, 88 extend only to a few inches from the front edge 91 of member 84 so that the front edges 92, 93 of tabs 85, 86 stop against the leading ends 94, 95 of channels 87, 88.
It will best be seen that the construction heretofore described permit a phonograph record to be rapidly and safely handled and housed within the envelope 21 in a dust-free manner since the sealing member 27 closes the opening of the envelope 21.
It is obvious that various changes and modifications may be made in the details of construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the general spirit of the invention.

Town Square
Charles Marsala for Mayor
Original post made by Civic Minded, Atherton: West Atherton, on Dec 14, 2009
I hope that the City Council breaks with tradition this Wednesday evening and selects Charles as the new Mayor. It is the kind of honor that Charles is well deserving of.

How about Jerry Gruber as both mayor and city manager? I think that makes more sense. The council has been micromanaging him, and I think he deserves to be able to operate with some sense of autonomy. He's earned the right.

I like both Kathy and Charles. I feel they both have something different to bring to this town. Before you judge either one of these town council members sit down and talk to them directly. I also feel given the current things going on in this town we should have a third party take a look at everything.

This whole mess would have been cleaned up two years ago if the council had not voted to go out of the regular order, and skip Kathy as mayor in favor of Jim Janz--I think they were afraid she might fix too many of their long cherished and embarrassing problems.
While it might be true that Charles could put us out of our misery faster than anyone else--I believe the hope here should be for some much needed LEADERSHIP--which only Kathy can offer.
Gruber has never even managed a city before ours, so don't expect anything but more of the same or worse from him with clear direction.

Charles Marsala is a voice of reason. Though it is impossible to think the political will of the council to break from tradition will elect him Mayor - too bad

Marsala would make a fabulous Mayor--OF MENLO PARK-- you can have him Rajun.

Toshiba Portege M930 slider laptop caught ahead of release
Toshiba hasn't officially announced the Toshiba Portege M930, but that didn't stop Microsoft showing off the new sliding laptop on its stand at CES over in Las Vegas.
The new mystery model sports a similar design to the Asus Eee Pad Slider released last year and the Sony Vaio laptop concept, also on display at the show.
While specs are limited we do know a couple of things aside from the rather unusual hinge design that sees the screen face outwards or inwards when closed.
The screen itself, when it is the viewing position, sits in a trough stopping it moving and bringing the screen considerably closer to you, meaning that you lose the usual glass trackpad as found on most laptops in favour of a small nubbin on the right hand side of the keyboard.
According to Microsoft the Toshiba Portege M930 will feature an Intel Core i5 processor, come with 4GB of RAM and have a 256GB hard drive.
Graphics power is provided by an Intel HD Graphics 3000 chip and that screen size, if you were wondering, is a 13.3-inch display with a 1280 x 800 resolution. Weight is 1.9kg and it is 27mm thick.
There's a stylus too for writing on the screen. At the moment you can't use your fingers, but we suspect this would change if the laptop was upgraded to Windows 8.
No word on when, if ever, Toshiba plans to launch the Toshiba Portege M930 sliding laptop. We will keep you posted.

Chania was the setting off point for me to hike the Samaria gorge. An early morning bus (6am) to the top of the gorge (Omalos) (about 1 hour) and then a long walk downhill through the gorge.

On the way back though, the braking force gradually returned. As I mentioned, I'm a complete neophyte, so I don't know what mechanism is involved. Maybe fluid of some kind, maybe effected by overuse (I was using the rear brake often on the scenic route). I'll do some research tonight and see if I can nail it ...

Very Good and Getting Better
Sound Portability Easy
None really
Best Uses
Patio use
We have a Play 5 and a PlayBar. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Play 5 and SONOS in general. We take the Play 5 outside all of the time. Sounds great. Works great. Wireless performance is very solid and 100% reliable. Early on I had a few concerns with the Android app but SONOS has addressed them.

I could see where some people might consider this product pricey (especially the Playbar) but I do not. It is fairly and responably priced.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Best Uses
We bought the a Sonos 5 about six months ago. It connected to our WiFi initially and worked reasonably well but then the problems started. None of our Macs, iPhones or iPads could 'find' the blessed unit. The on-line help is energetic by totally pathetic and although we've been able to make it work sporadically, it's caused foar more frustration than its worth. The sound is just OK - nothing like the price tag or CR tests indicate. I'm extremely disappointed with Sonos and would NOT advise anyone go down that road as we foolishly did.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Sonos is awesome
Ease of opperation
Ease of setup
Great Sound quality
High price tag
Best Uses
I own a Sonos Play 5, a Sonos Playbar, and two Sonos Connect Amp's. I love them all and they work great. My Play 5 is my sound for my home PC. I like to sit in my office and listen to music. I had to go for the Play 5 because it is the only Sonos speaker with a 1/8in input jack which makes it well suited for a PC speaker. The sound quality is amazing. The only down side is the high price tag, but once you start filling your house with Sonos speakers and creating different zones, you'll be hooked. I love being able to play the same source of music in any room I have sonos.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Police: Man gave false statementJuly 23,2014Police: Man gave
false statement
BENNINGTON A local man was charged with a felony Monday after police said he had given a police officer one account of a potential crime and told a different story during a deposition.
Jason S. Pendlebury, 29, of North Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court Monday to a single felony count of false swearing.
In an affidavit, Detective Anthony Silvestro of the Bennington Police Department said he was investigating an accusation of lewd and lascivious conduct in October when he first spoke to Pendlebury. Silvestro said Pendlebury told him the accused man had touched a woman improperly in his presence.
However, during a deposition in March, Pendlebury changed his story. He said the woman had touched the man and that much of what was going on was horseplay.
Silvestro said when he spoke to Pendlebury on May 20 about why Pendlebury had changed his story, Pendlebury told him that he had gotten more information about the incident after he talked to Silvestro in October. He also admitted he had been in contact with the accused man but denied that had anything to do with the change in his story.
Pendlebury was released without bail Monday.MORE IN This Just InKABUL, Afghanistan Confusion reigned in the wake of the deadly bombing Saturday of a hospital...

As a participant in the Reed Winter Externship Program, Elisa Cibils, senior history major, learned firsthand about public service law at New Mexico Legal Aid
In January 2015, Maya Campbell '15 and I shadowed a few of the attorneys at New Mexico Legal Aid (NMLA) in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This experience and the people I met on the trip challenged a lot of ingrained assumptions and stereotypes I had about lawyers. In my mind, the ideal, successful lawyer looked like an overbearing mansplainer. That's what I thought a lawyer looked like based on popular discourse. But, I was so wrong. I'm sure the stereotypical lawyer figure I just outlined lives in many law offices. But there are so many other types of lawyers that don't get talked about, like the lawyers I met at NMLA and the other legal service organizations we visited. The attorneys I met on the trip were mostly middle-class white women who had recently graduated from an out of state law school. They were so committed to their jobs, arriving in the office early and staying late to continue their work. These attorneys at NMLA provide free legal services to low-income New Mexicans. Many of the cases they take are family law cases, some are landlord-tenant cases, and others are foreclosure cases.
I learned that public interest law is really multifaceted and functions through a network of different organizations, funds, volunteers, and administrative support. We met with Aja Brooks who led the Volunteer Attorney Program for NMLA. We also traveled to the different NMLA offices around the state, including the Albuquerque and Las Vegas offices. In these offices, we met attorneys and administrative support that were really committed to their community and their clients. We also met with members of outside organizations that provide free legal services. We met with Liz McGrath from Pegasus, an organization that provides legal services for children. We also met Allegra Love, an immigration lawyer working in connection with Santa Fe Public Schools, who provides free immigration legal services to immigrant families. They shared their life stories and gave us career advice. They told us what it was like on the job. I definitely got the sense that public interest law is hard, underpaid, and undervalued. Despite these conditions, the people I encountered in the field were positive, hard-working, and committed to their work and their clients.

Text reads "Meeting of Union Pacific Board of Directors, The Republican National Convention, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, August 3rd, 2000"
Liana Clark, senior art major, joined the team of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum in Iowa as a part of the Reed College Winter Externship Program.
On several occasions my mother has told me that I'm "the best person to go to a museum with." I'm sure others would disagree - not that they would be noting a different trend than she did. For as long as I can remember, I've been extremely critical of the wall text, the arrangement of art objects or artifacts, or whatever general narratives the gallery space is attempting to project with their exhibitions. This tendency to critique only intensified after I declared myself as an art major at Reed. Still, I never seriously considered working in a museum. For me, the fun of rolling my eyes at a reductionist perspective on an artist's legacy, or quoting Fred Wilson ("museums are great silencers of dissent") after reading an exposé that seemed to stretch the truth, was my own little exercise in futile expression of exacerbation. I didn't expect it to go anywhere.
One night, my housemate and I were trying to figure out what we should do over winter break. We decided it would probably be worthwhile to apply for Reed's winter externship program, but since the form only lets applicants select a single location (and we didn't feel especially competitive), we laughingly chose the most intriguing - but hopefully least enticing to our peers - destinations. Seeing as the Union Pacific Railroad Museum is not only a corporate museum (bound to offend the average Reedie's anti-establishment sensibilities), but it is also in Council Bluffs, Iowa (which in the middle of winter, didn't exactly call for the same uniform as the beach in Miami), it seemed like I'd have a good shot. I figured this could be my chance to see what it was really like to work for a museum. Besides, at the very least, it would definitely supply me with great material for the next time I wanted to complain about what was badly executed about a glass case of silverware in the Legion of Honor.
Debra Moda Raduma, sophomore math major, participated in a winter externship in Southern California working with Reed parent Dr. Doulgas Kerns at Sigenics, a circuit design and production company
Over winter break, I was fortunate enough to get to visit Southern California where I spent a few days, enjoying the good weather and scenery. I fell in love with Orange County right from the moment I landed at John Wayne Airport. I was so scared and excited at the same time but I had two other externs, Edgar '17 and Farhan '18, to share in my worries, as none of us knew what to expect. We were going to work at Sigenics, a company that specializes in the designing of microchips. It has two branches, one in Chicago and another in Sierra Madre, where we were scheduled to work.
The first day in the lab we were greeted by the photo of the famous mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell, whose frame hung steadily on one of the walls of the lab. I was already impressed from the word "go". I was able to learn and understand how analogue and digital systems intersect. We worked on semi-projects, where we used breadboards to build circuits, and an arduino (I didn't know what this was either!

Through the Reed Winter Externship Program, Revant Bagaria spent a week with Cooke&Co, learning about the inner workings of the advertising and marketing industry.
This winter I worked with Cooke&Co, which is an advertising and marketing company based in New York City. This was the first time that I worked in a professional workplace environment and so this two week long externship was a very enriching experience for me.
The tasks that I was assigned were pretty basic, but they helped me gain an insight into the world of marketing and they also helped me hone my technical job skills.

As a part of the Reed Winter Externship Program, Maggie Maclean, class of 2016, worked at a veteran's hospital, assisting patients through recreational and art therapy
As I prepared for my internship at a teaching hospital in Livermore, California, I realized that there was one very important detail that Reed had not prepared me for: business casual attire. I managed to dig out of my closet one pair of pants without ripped knees and a pair of boots without paint splattered on them. I arrived at the Veterans Association's Community Living Center hoping to blend in as a med student, not an art major.
Although I have taken a few psychology classes at Reed, I never imagined myself in the scientific world of clinical medicine. I was worried about how I would fare in a hospital setting. Taking the elevator between floors of residents' rooms I felt like an extra in a doctor show minus the white coat. But throughout my externship I saw how far interpersonal skills, patience, and an open mind could take me.

Sophomore psychology major Savanah Walseth participated in a Reed winter externship at the Multnomah County Commissioner's office, assisting with public policy work regarding homelessness
For most of January, I had the opportunity to extern at Commissioner Bailey's Office in Multnomah County doing public policy work related to housing and homelessness. Christine Lewis (an awesome former Reedie!) was my supervisor, but overall I got a lot of independence to go to meetings, conduct research and explore housing policy issues facing our county.
Multnomah County is attempting to reduce their population of people experiencing homelessness by 50% in the next two years. By July 1st of this year, they are attempting to place 430 individuals in permanent supportive housing with all of the essentials a person needs to sustain their housing long-term. It is an exciting time. To go about this endeavor, Multnomah County meets with social service providers, government officials, community members and individuals currently and formerly experiencing homelessness to conduct a plan of action. I had the opportunity to sit in meetings with on-the-ground direct service providers, executive directors, policy-makers, commissioners and even Mayor Hales. Everyone I spoke to really cared about the issue of ending homelessness and were willing to put aside any differences to get the job done. One of the best parts was being part of conversations that were not only seeking to end homelessness, but prevent it. Everyone was willing to look at deep-rooted issues such as our education system, healthcare, criminal justice, foster care, the VA and more to better piece together the complexities that cause homelessness. There was also a lot of talk about what it took to help a person sustain their housing. We discussed strategies to work as a community to help individuals get employment, life-sustaining activities and better support members. Multnomah County not only wants housing for every individual, they also want a better life for every individual.

A Reed winter externship program participant, Pedro Henriques Da Silva, first year physics major, spent a week in Washington D.C. working with Paul Levy '72 at Public Citizen Litigation Group
Paul Levy's had a death in the family. He'd warned me this might happen, and now it has. I. Am. So. Sorry. And, in what will be a preview of his personality, he seems far more concerned with getting me all set up while he's away, than I would ever expect given the circumstances. This is the beginning of an interesting and unexpected externship.
On the fifth of January I found my way to the office. I don't know if it was the D.C. cold or the nervousness of the first day, but somehow I stepped out of the metro station and failed to see the large brick building with the "Public Citizen" banner at the top directly across the street from me. So for several unnecessary minutes, I followed my smart-phone guidance back the way I'd come until I realized my mistake. Inside I'm met with history, determination, and originality. I speak to the nice lady at the front desk who calls Peter Maybarduk and informs him that an intern named Pedro was here. She then directed me to the elevator around the corner and to go to the Attic.

Sage Freeburg, junior English major, participated in the Reed winter externship program, working with Seattle ReCreative, a reuse and art center dedicated to reducing landfill waste.
On a dreary Monday morning, I hesitantly drove through Seattle traffic, guided by the oh-so-comforting voice of Siri directing me to "take a left onto Greenwood Avenue." I did. "The destination is on your left, 8408 Greenwood Avenue. North." I looked left. Nestled between an empty storefront and an eccentric looking shop with space shuttle stickers plastered to the window, was the home of Seattle ReCreative. My initial introduction to the store and program was delayed, as the windows were covered with curtains, so I was unaware of what great feat lay before me. It was the opening of the door that was my first look into the program, which reveled boxes, and boxes, and boxes of yarn, glitter, paint, nails, and the smiling face of co-founder Emily Korson.
Emily explained to me that they had just moved into the storefront, and were planning to open for a preview weekend that Saturday. "That means" she said "that we need to unpack and organize everything by Friday." I must have looked a little intimidated because she gave me an understanding nod and said "Yes, I don't know how we'll ever be able to unpack everything by then." To give a visual, it was almost impossible to walk from one end of the store to the other without pushing a box out of the way, or stepping over a pile of ceramic tiles. I honestly didn't think it could be ready in just five days.

Sarah Canavan, sophomore economics major, participated in the Reed winter externship program, working with Reed alumna, Christine Lewis '07, policy director for one of the Multnomah County Commissioners.
I returned from a trip home to Texas for the holidays just a day before my externship with Christine Lewis at Multnomah County Commissioner Jules Bailey's office. After my first semester at Reed, my trip home allowed me to reconnect with my family, my home and my past, and I was able to return to Portland and begin my externship with a renewed sense of self and purpose. I sat down with Christine to discuss the goals of my week stint as an intern at the Multnomah County office. We discussed my initial questions and planned which meetings I would attend and how I could learn more about data and research methods that play a part in the policy design at the office. After some discussion, we decided that I would shadow Christine and others at the office in their roles at the office and help do some thorough research into proposed levee reevaluation.
I've been a resident of Portland for five years and since living here have been marginally involved in local politics (voting in local elections, primarily) and my experience as a daily bicycle commuter has led me to participate in several bicycle and transportation advocacy groups or events (Shift2bikes, Oregon Walks, etc…) My academic and career interests lie in public policy design and analysis but I had never really seen what the working environment in this field would actually look like. What I got out of my externship was the opportunity to see county level policy being shaped, in fact, I really felt like I was seeing democracy in action. The process is an amalgam of inspiration, empowerment and frustration. The flavor of board meetings was similar to the Socratic method of Reed conference classes but with the meticulous minute taking of a senate meeting. I went to four board meetings; Home for Everyone Coordinating Council, Board of County Commissioners Meeting, Local Public Safety Coordinating Council and Oregon Solutions Levee Meeting. Going into detail about the different meetings and my observations from my time at the office could take a long time, so I think I'll share some of my most interesting observations.

Cristobal Mancillas, junior political science major and recipient of the Winter Fellowship for International Travel, reflects on his time in Buenos Aires, Argentina, studying Argentinian Spanish
I spent my winter travel fellowship in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. I received private Spanish instructions from professor Susana. The focus was on building conversational fluidity and learning an Argentinian dialect of Spanish. Professor Susana was a compassionate and caring individual who helped me adjust to a new place, a new language, and a new way of life. We spent time discussing art in the park of memory, dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives in the Argentinian Dirty War, receiving an unofficial and spontaneous private tour of the Argentinian national bank, and relaxing while eating choripan at a nature reserve in Puerto Madero. While I could endlessly recount the amazing experiences I had in Buenos Aires, I feel that it was also the not so rosy experiences that allowed me the tremendous opportunity to grow.

Nathan Martin, junior English major, participated in a winter externship on the Oregon coast with Ruth Werner, author. Nathan is also a recent winner of this summer's President's Summer Fellowship, to pursue poetry writing in the desert.
I'm used to textbooks. I've been buying them now for over four years.
I'll continue buying them for another one to three years, depending on
what I do after Reed. I don't think much about where these books come
from. I've cursed when the edition I need is a hundred dollars and the
previous edition is fifty cents. I've cursed louder after finding out
I could've used the older edition after buying the new one. I've also
been fond of textbooks. I had a history text at my community college
that surprised me with the effectiveness of its question and answer format. I do love books, but that love has never extended to textbooks. It still doesn't, but now I know a good deal more about where they come from.

You take a deep drag on your cigarette and another swig of coffee. It's long gone cold, but you can't get up to make another cup because you don't want to disrupt your flow. You have no idea what time it is and you don't care. All you know is that you've got to keep going until the words don't come out anymore or your eyes refuse to stay open.
You watch the characters move and interact in the movie that's playing inside your head. Your job is simple and complicated at the same time—you have to make sure that their stories are told, that their messy, human lives are translated into neat black rows of text on the page.
If you dream about being a writer, you might imagine that this is what your life would look like. And for some writers, it does. But there's much more variety to working as a writer than you might imagine.

As a participant in Reed's winter externship program, Ray Self, sophomore History major, spent eight days working in New York City at the Burns photography archive.
This winter break, I spent eight days working at the Burns Archive, a photographic archive in New York City that specializes in early medical photography, in addition to having a wide range of collections covering a variety of other historical topics. The Archive has provided photographs and historical information for a number of film and television projects, most notably working on the Knick, a Cinemax series set in a hospital at the beginning of the 20th century.
I had the opportunity to aid in a range of different projects during my externship. Most notably, I was able to see firsthand how the Archive organizes their image collections, and how these images are selected and prepared for publication in their series of photographic books on various historical and medical topics. Because of the immense quantity of images that the Archive possesses, I was curious to learn about the organizational systems they had in place to manage the collection. I was expecting a complex computerized database of images, and was surprised to see they utilized a very different organizational method. Boxes full of photographs were given a label related to their historical topic, and stored in a special room equipped with a digital camera for image capture. Images were organized in a way that was functional to current projects; as assignments arose, collected images related to that topic were documented via the camera and organized in a more comprehensive fashion.

There is something deeply rewarding about setting up a plan and then executing it. Thought the "heist" metaphor was perhaps a stretch, and though I would never want to implicate myself or my colleagues in "theft" (--though, my brief walk through the British Museum suggested to me that historians, archeologists, and anthropologists have perhaps done their fare share of that, under different names--), finding what I was looking for where I looked for it was a satisfying experience.
What was I looking for? And what did I find? I was looking for the correspondence of Robert Swinhoe relating to Natural History. His "day job" as it were was as a diplomat in the British Foreign Service, and he produced volumes of material related to his work in the consulate. I wasn't incredibly interested in all of that work, however, and I wasn't sure what, if anything, I would find in his diplomatic writings with respect to his natural historical work. I did manage to locate all of his archived diplomatic writing. The day after arriving in London I went to the National Archives and spent the morning and afternoon browsing microfilmed catalogues of Foreign Service Office material, looking for things that Swinhoe produced. I spent the whole of Saturday and Sunday at the National Archives—it was the only one open over the weekend.
I had planned to do the archival work here over my first weekend because, although of lesser importance to my overall research interests, it would give me the opportunity to "practice" doing the work of a historical researcher.

Rebeca Willis-Conger, sophomore sociology major, received a Reed Fellowship for International Travel to study Aikido in Japan.
I love traveling. I always get nervous before leaving, convinced that I am not adequately prepared, anxious about all the accidents that might befall me. Then I leave my comfort zone and rediscover how capable I am. The world becomes someplace exciting and new to explore, while my anxieties appear slightly ridiculous. My trip to Japan was no exception.

I am a senior art major who had the pleasure of traveling to Seoul during winter 2014 under the auspices of the Presidents Winter International Travel Fellowship. There, I stayed at the Unification Church Cheongpyeong holy grounds for a week taking photographs, making rubbings, and conducting on-site research. I'm intrigued by the ways in which this specific site of pilgrimage manipulates the movements of the body and mind and offers church members a tantalizing promise of eternal spiritual salvation. The Unification Church, also known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, is the church of an international Christian religion. Founded in South Korea in 1954 by Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the church seeks to establish a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. The church been criticized for its cultish practices, which include mass arranged marriages. The Unification Church directs its churchgoers to Cheongpyeong, located in Seoul. Although I am an avid nonbeliever, Moon arranged my parent's marriage and I have unwillingly gone to Cheongpyeong multiple times in my childhood. This project sought a departure from my past with the religion by willfully confronting my memories on-site and creating artwork in order to move forward and grow both as a person and an artist.
At Cheongpyeong, frigid weather gave hazy form to my breath as I exhaled. Each morning I bundled up before trekking up the Church's holy mountain, making rubbings along the way. This mountain plays a crucial role as a site of pilgrimage and a harbinger of hope for what the church members conceive as their salvation and pathway to paradise. As they climb the mountain at daybreak during their religious training, the churchgoers pay their respects to holy trees and water imbued with spiritual energy. There is even a place called "Holy Water" where water bubbles and streams from the rocks for church members to quench their thirst as they trek up to the mountain top, not unlike the story of Moses striking the rocks and calling forth water in Numbers 20 in the Bible. Given that the foundation of Unificationism derives from a mishmash of religions including Christianity, I really wouldn't be surprised if this reference to the Bible stood at the forefront of Moon's mind as he constructed space and ritual at Cheongpyeong. These religious nodes would blend easily into the surrounding landscape if not for the fact that they are circumcised by a stone ring and marked with stone tablets incised with titles like "Tree of Blessing," or "Tree of Life" in flowing calligraphic script. Church members believe that their holy ancestors and the spirits of the mountain flutter between the branches of these trees, gazing benevolently down at those who pray with devotion. In addition to these daily pilgrimages, they are confined within a strict itinerary in hopes of purifying their ancestors and exorcising evil spirits from their bodies. Although the strength of their piety is admirable, I'm dubious as to the amount of truth in such claims, especially given that Moon (who dubbed himself the Messiah) and his "Holy" family practiced corruption, domestic violence, amongst other sins. The leaders of the church certainly do not practice the values they preach. This untrustworthiness fractures their constructed divinity and places doubt onto the purity of the religious practices to which their followers adhere.
Julia Selker, senior physics major, spent a week working with Bulleit Group, a tech PR firm based in San Francisco as a participant in Reed's winter externship program.
When I walked into the Bulleit Group's office in the Marina district of San Francisco, I didn't even know how to pronounce the name of the company. It's the same as "bullet," by the way. I was a small town physicist in a big city tech PR firm and I was ready for some surprises. In just one week I went from wondering whether people who work in public relations are agents of good or evil to ghostwriting two articles (read theme here: CES Roundup: A Date with Power and Huffington Post: 5 Simple Swaps That Slim Down Everyday Cooking) and gleefully doing market research. I was sold, so to speak. I signed up for this externship thinking that I would get a sense for what the tech world was like from the outside, and maybe one day I would be manufacturing microchips for one of their clients. I had not considered that I would leave Bulleit wondering if I could take a few years off before grad school to do PR.
After an hour and a half on public transportation from Berkeley, I dove right in. The bus was too slow to get me there in time for a real introduction, so I went straight into a conference call where about 8 people worked quickly and meticulously through an agenda about the PR plans for one of Bulleit's biggest clients. Then I started working on a summary of the press coverage that the company had received. I have done my share of research--read literally hundreds of articles from jstor or sciencedirect--but rarely did I consult the news. I discovered a new kind of reading on Google news,TechCrunch, Re/code, and Twitter.

Through Reed's winter externship program, Richard Adcock, junior linguistics major, worked with Groupon, an online commerce marketplace. This post highlights a few of his impressions:
The conference rooms in the Groupon office are called things like "Touch me, I'm sick" and "Hold all my calls." The open floor plan houses more than one standing desk, and there are more Seahawks jerseys than button-ups. Employees in all departments bounce from teleconference to meeting to teleconference, this being the marketing hub for a rapidly growing, multinational corporation.
A given call might be to go over the week's numbers and prep for an internal meeting, but even this level of bureaucracy and internal review is dispatched in minutes, and employees are back to their own projects. This is a common thread I came to appreciate in my short time at Groupon--analytics are collaborative, ongoing, and maximally quick and responsive.

In the last two days, the Phoenix Suns released James Nunnally and traded away Kendall Marshall, Shannon Brown, Malcolm Lee and Marcin Gortat.
At this point, the Suns apparently just want to take a breath and make some simple decisions. None of the Morrii or Plumlee will be cut loose after the season the way they were about to cut loose Kendall Marshall if he had not been included in the Gortat trade (instead, Washington did the cutting after absorbing his 2013-14 salary - win!).
Miles Plumlee, making only just over a million this year and next, is projected to play big minutes this season while rookie Alex Len recovers from ankle surgeries. Already, Len is in question to start the season due to soreness in the left ankle (according to Paul Coro on twitter after morning practice). Len had not played any basketball for six months, but jumped right into regular minutes in preseason and stands as the team's leading preseason rebounder (since Gortat was traded). The Suns want to take it really slow on Len.
With Frye and Okafor (just over from Washington) unready to play big minutes, Plumlee and second-year player Viacheslav Kravtsov are the only completely healthy centers on the roster. Frye will play, but likely can't handle more than 20-25 minutes per game and will play some PF as well. Okafor has a herniated disc in his neck and is out indefinitely.
Plumlee has shown great energy this preseason and has been touted as the team's biggest surprise. We shall see if he can hold up to playing the league's best centers.
The Suns also decided that twins Markieff and Marcus Morris have played well enough in the NBA to earn just about $3 million next year after making just over $2 million this season. They have shown an ability to play in an NBA rotation, and were "ranked" in ESPN's #NBARank in the mid-200s, meaning they rank as 8th-9th men in any NBA rotation. This means the 24-year old Morrii can play, but also that they have trade value if necessary.
The Morrii worked hard this offseason to get into the best shape of their careers. Marcus played very well in summer league, while Markieff has played well in the preseason. Marcus has shown the best 3-point stroke, while Markieff is spending a good deal of time in the paint now to take advantage of his size and quickness.
Each Morris brother, taken one spot apart in the 2011 draft, will make about $2 million this season and $3 million next season.
Dionte Christmas is a great kid who's been trying to make the league for years. He first came out of college as a shooter only, but has since really improved his game to the point that he can make an NBA roster. And thanks to the Suns, that dream has come true.
I'll tell you one thing. The NBA has no respect for deadlines or drafts as made apparent by the Phoenix Suns trading their entire roster yesterday and turning #SUNSRANK on its ears!
With the trades of Marcin Gortat, Kendall Marshall, Shannon Brown, and Malcolm Lee to the Washington Wizards this is a much different looking team than it was just 24 hours ago.
The initial rankings had five young roster hopefuls that had virtually no chance of making the roster, or at least three fifths of them, but now the roster stands at 14 and they can all call Phoenix home. The game is the game so naturally, the rankings move on.
Let's get to it.
Profile: 6-4 210 lbs. Shooting Guard -- Eighth Year Michigan State
Stats: (Pre-Season) In 10.3 MPG 3.0 PPG 1.3 APG 1.3 RPG 37.5% FG 33.3% 3PT (2-6)
Interesting Fact: Appeared in Nelly's "Just a Dream" music video... At the 3:15 mark, Brown has a drive-by moment.
Profile: Many people want to #letShannonfly but I'm not one of them. I just don't like dribble tantrums, and Brown can't help himself. His dribbles always end up in a contested shot for himself instead of a pass to a teammate in scoring position after he draws the defense's attention. I like Shannon personally, and he definitely got screwed last season, but I just really wish he'd go somewhere else to play basketball. He can be a key reserve on a good team, but suffers from overexposure on a struggling team. If it's a question of Shannon Brown or Archie Goodwin, I'd say Goodwin every day of the week and twice on Sundays. - Dave King
Important Question: Can Shannon catch-and-shoot without dribble tantrums first?
(Editors Note: Brown was traded to the Washington Wizards and waived on 10/25)
Profile: 6-8 210 lbs. Small Forward -- Seventh Year High School
Stats: (Pre-Season) in 12.4 MPG 2.8 PPG 2.5 APG 1.8 RPG (0 total steals) 27.8% FG 20.0% 3PT (1-5)
Interesting Fact: He will forever be know as the last ever first round pick that jumped from high school directly to the NBA...
Analysis: Tasked with giving my thoughts on Gerald, my first thought was that I didn't have any. Upon deeper reflection I decided that I hope Green is basically irrelevant, which is very probable, because if he plays a significant role that will mean he's producing and if he's producing he's helping the Suns win games... which is bad. Green turns 28 halfway through the season and is a six year NBA veteran who also spent two years in Russia - every NBA player's dream destination. He started more games in 2006-07 (26) then he did in his other five combined (24). The two players he is most similar to through his career to date are Darvin Ham and Cliff Meely. The best case scenario is that Green rattles a few rims with electrifying dunks in the brief intervals he isn't affixed to the bench. - Jim Coughenour
Important Question: Does Green become the new Shannon Brown? #letGreenFLY
Profile: 6-11 255 lbs. Center -- Second Year Duke
Stats: (Pre-Season) In 18.6 MPG 6.4 PPG 4.6 RPG 1.14 BPG 51.4% FG
Interesting Fact: Do you think you have a family trade? Miles' father, mother, both brothers, grandfather, and two uncles played basketball at the college level, minimum.
Analysis: I ranked Plumlee lower than all of my esteemed colleagues. There is no doubting Plumlee's athleticism and motor; however, I have never been impressed with his basketball ability, even back in his college days at Duke. I was one of the many laughing at Indiana when they drafted him with their first round pick, and I was proven right at least in the first year as Plumlee coudn't even get on the floor for the Pacers. I see Plumlee as a fringe NBA player; a Lou Amundson type that can be effective at times but overall really doesn't have much of an effect on a team. He'll make the team and get some minutes, but I don't think he has a long-term future in the Valley of the Sun. - Jacob Padilla
Important Question: How long will this older brother last with the Suns?
Profile: 6-4 195 lbs. Point Guard -- Second Year North Carolina
Stats: (Pre-Season) In 10.4 MPG 3.0 PPG 2.0 APG 46.2% FG 42.9% 3PT (3-7)
Interesting Fact: Kendall has already found another job! Don't believe me?
Analysis: So I get to cheat as I am writing this after the trade, but in these rankings I was higher on Marshall than the rest of the staff, but not by much. He has been the most talked about Sun since 2012, not always in a positive way, and is now free to find a situation that better suits his skill-set. If the Suns were to have kept Marshall he would be the third point guard at best, without him, the dynamic does not change. He was not going to move the needle regardless. Now the Suns are down to three Team Options for their rookie scale players. On the most recent podcast both Jim and I predicted Marshall would be on the outs this year, not get his option picked up, and have a new team before the trade deadline. All of which happened 24hrs after the podcast aired.
Important Question: Over/Under 0.5 total NBA minutes played for Marshall this year?
(Editors Note: Brown was traded to the Washington Wizards and waived on 10/25)
Profile: 6-10 245 lbs. Power Forward -- Third Year Kansas
Stats: (Pre-Season) In 20.7 MPG 8.9 PPG 5.1 RPG 49.1% FG 66.7% 3PT (2-3)
Interesting Fact: Markieff was born seven minutes before his twin brother and draft about that many minutes before his "little" brother. Big brother problems.
Analysis: I've been fairly critical of Kieff for the past few years...but it's mostly because of what I believe he could turn into if he just set his mind to it. Keiff was drafted to be an enforcer of sorts, a hard-nosed defender as well as a rebounder and an inside scoring threat. Kieff possesses all of the qualities to be just that, but somehow modeled himself more after Channing Frye. But unlike Channing, Kieff doesn't possess the natural three-point shooting ability, which hampers his efficiency on the court. At times we see flashes of what he can bring, like his 12 point, 10 rebound performance against the Nuggets in the final preseason game. If he could find his true identity as a big man and play like that consistently, he could be a part of the future with this organization. - Sean Sullivan
Important Question: Can Markieff maintain the discipline and efficiency he showed in the pre-season from three-point range?
Come back tomorrow for 15-11 in the #SUNSRANK series and follow along on Twitter!
Profile: Arizona Sports 620, The Arizona Republic, and other outlets will try to keep the fan-base happy, engaged, and excited through 82 rough games.
Stats: Millions of words written to say the same thing, in a different way, but not really.
Interesting Fact: There has been more turnover on the Suns roster than in the Al McCoy Media Room. Phoenix, where loyalty gets you 20-25 wins!
Analysis: Guys like Paul Coro and our outstanding staff here at Bright Side of the Sun will continue to be an important part of the Suns this season as they cover the team and help spread the latest news about the inner workings of the organization, as well as analyze the various moves or changes that will inevitably take place along the way. This coverage helps forge a connection between the team and the fans, by keeping the very people who support the team interested and invested in them.
Important Question: Two Parter: Does Coro get his suits at the same place as Jeff Hornacek? And, is that a good thing for Coro or an insult to Coach?
Ed note: Guest contributor Cody Ulm, editor of SB Nation's ASU Sun Devils blog House of Sparky, had the serendipitous chance to get an exclusive interview Miles Plumlee recently.
The inclusion of Indiana's lottery-protected first round draft pick was the main selling point when the rebuilding Suns sent their second leading scorer, Luis Scola, packing to the Pacers back in July. Of course, Gerald Green had to be included, too, for salary-matching purposes.
And then there was 25 year old, 6'11" Miles Plumlee: a player who was labeled as everything from a throw-in to an afterthought in the transaction.
But Plumlee used distinctly different words when describing his move to the desert.
"I looked at it more as a promotion because I'll get more of a chance to play," said Plumlee.
And play he will. After Marcin Gortat was traded to Washington on October 25, and while Channing Frye and Alex Len build up their stamina for long minutes, the Suns resident pogo stick and Energizer bunny will play a lot. In fact, it's possible that Plumlee will exceed last season's action by the fourth quarter of Bright Side Community Night - game two of the season, Friday, November 1. That is, if he can stay out of foul trouble.
After his first season with the Pacers, Plumlee's palpable hunger for playing time is understandable.
Indiana turned some heads when it made Plumlee the No. 26 overall selection in the 2012 draft. In four years at Duke, Plumlee never averaged more than 21 minutes in a single year and his best scoring season came out to 6.6 points per game.
The Pacers believed in him but didn't reciprocate with a rotational role. Plumlee only saw 55 minutes in his rookie season and was instead sent up and down from the Developmental League six times.
Despite his draft pedigree, Plumlee took a positive outlook on the constant stream of demotions.
"It was good to work on some things when you weren't getting to play at all in the games," said Plumlee, who averaged 11.2 points and 10.2 rebounds in 15 D-League appearances.
When he was up with the Pacers, Plumlee made it a point to learn all he could from Roy Hibbert and "especially" David West. He carried that quiet hunger into the Orlando Summer League and on July 7, he tied the league record with six blocks in a game against the Thunder. But with Hibbert, West, Ian Mahinmi standing ahead of him in Indiana's rotation, Plumlee would have needed a few more record-worthy performances to be taken seriously.
Newly-christened Suns GM Ryan McDonough had the foresight to realize that too. And just a few weeks later, he came calling with a "surprise."
"You never really see it coming," said Plumlee on the trade. "But the more I got to talk to the staff and management here, I was just really excited about it."
Plumlee used that excitement as fuel on the practice court and made an impression on rookie head coach Jeff Hornacek.
"Miles is a guy with his athleticism...he's fast enough where he gets into the pick and rolls quickly," said Hornacek. "Guys are looking for him and if you give him a little space, he's going to go dunking."
But throwing down isn't Plumlee's bread and butter. In college, Plumlee made a name for himself by banging the boards. And that's precisely what the fast-break oriented Hornacek is looking for.
"We need somebody who can get some big rebounds," said Hornacek, who emphasized Plumlee's ability for quick outlet passes. "If we don't get the rebounds and teams are getting those offensive boards, it's going to kill us."
For that reason, Plumlee was given an opportunity to start at power forward last Tuesday against the Clippers. After a getting the jump ball nod over since-traded starting center Marcin Gortat, Plumlee went on to score Phoenix's first points of the game on a quick dribble-drive. But with the Clippers building a quick nine-point lead, Plumlee was relegated to the bench.
The second-year big man got another chance late in the fourth quarter. Plumlee was part of a unit that helped dig the Suns out a 14-point deficit with just under five minutes remaining. His finest moment came on a shifty move around the rim that cut it to a 95-94 game with 38.6 seconds remaining.
Ultimately, his late-game heroics weren't enough as the Suns were downed 102-96 for their first loss of the preseason.
Two days later, he was back to coming off the bench in Sacramento, and a week later he put up 8 points and 10 rebounds off the bench against Denver.
Regardless of his role, Plumlee promises to bring his trademark intensity to whatever is asked of him.
"I think in the NBA you learn that it shouldn't be much of a difference. You have to come in with the same energy...If you're coming off the bench, you have to treat it like you're starting. That's what works for me."
Now that Marcin Gortat has been traded, Plumlee will most likely be the team's starting center for the near future. Channing Frye is still getting his wind and legs after not playing basketball for 16 months until three weeks ago (heart condition) and rookie center Alex Len is getting into shape himself while recovering from double ankle surgery that kept him out of action for six months. The acquired Emeka Okafor is out indefinitely with a bulging disc in his neck. Add in Markieff Morris' one-game suspension, and Plumlee is sure to jump center to kick off the 2013-14 season.
"It's going to be kind of trial and error when [Plumlee] goes with another big guy such as Alex [Len] or Gortat," said Hornacek, before the Gortat trade. "But if he's in there with a Channing Frye or even Markieff...teams are going to have to make a decision: 'Do we leave the shooters? Or Miles is going to get a dunk?' So that will be a weapon."
To help his cause, Plumlee has been proactive about upgrading his offensive repertoire. According to Hornacek, he's been working on his post ups and shot selection with former pros and current Phoenix assistant coaches Mark West and Kenny Gattison.
"Now when he catches the ball and he's within 15 feet, we feel comfortable with him making a move or taking a shot. I'm not sure we could have said that a month ago," said Hornacek.
And as an evolving player on an evolving team, Plumlee is eager to get his first considerable taste of the NBA alongside a collection of unproven commodities.
"I just want to have a great year and grow every day," said Plumlee. "I feel we're going to improve each day and that's a great feeling."

About Me24-year old photographer living in Chicago, looking to tell a good story. My work focuses on creating imaginary narratives about peoples lives and memories using light and color to make a cinematic movie-still feeling. I like to keep things surreal and whimsical, with just enough nostalgia to make your heart go "squeeze".
I'm looking to collaborate with other creative individuals in the area, so please don't hesitate to contact me via ModelMayhem or email: firstname.lastname@example.com. It'll be fun and we can go out for coffee afterwards :).
I shoot with a Nikon D7000 (15-105 mm f/2.2 lens and 55 mm f/1.8 lens) and edit in photoshop CS5.
I split my time between Chicago, NYC, and Washington D.C. If you are in the area, don't hesitate to send me a message!
