Demolition drive-in

Xiaomei Chen (MAnth’06) captures a slice of Americana as Bill Smith, left, and Ryan Hysell watch the Albany Independent Fair’s derby on Friday, Sept. 7, 2007. She says a demolition derby usually consists of five or more drivers competing by deliberately ramming their vehicles into one another. The last driver whose vehicle is still operational wins. Both observers said it was the best derby in Athens County, Ohio.

Inner Peace

Thirty years after he went on a photographic journey to the Cambodia of “The Killing Fields,” Jay Mather (Geog’69) returned to the country in 2009 to see what had changed.

A walk on water

While crossing the Salar de Uyuni in southwest Bolivia, Judd Rogers (IntlAf’02, MBA ’09) stopped to take a picture of a tourist amid a surreal landscape that many compare to a Salvador Dalí painting. During the wet season in February, a thin sheet of water glazes over part of the largest salt flat in the world, which covers more than 4,000 square miles and sits at 12,000 feet. It is still drivable as long as you don’t mind the corrosive consequences to your car.

Don’t try this at home

Subzero temperatures didn’t keep photographer Lucas Gilman (Jour’00) and professional skier Trevor Hiatt inside on Jan. 16, 2008. Hiatt got some top-notch flight time in the Grand Targhee, Wyo., backcountry. Large amounts of snow and severe avalanche conditions made backcountry travel hazardous, but the big cliffs and light snow were just too alluring to pass up, Gilman says.

Reading the morning news wire

Boulder Camera photographer Cliff Grassmick (Jour’82) captured this scene in a park in Xian, China, one morning in 1997. People were in the park doing tai chi, dancing with fans and reading the newspaper. Grassmick was exploring China while serving as photo instructor with the Semester-at-Sea Program.
