I had officially agreed to attend the week-long introductory workshop in order to provide additional help where it was needed.

Unofficially, however, it was my chance to brush up on the basics. In any case, I had decided that it would at least be a humbling experience.

hen I walked into my first day of the OPP’s new photography workshop, I found that despite my six years of work behind a camera, that I was just as antsy as the freshfaced and bright-eyed freshmen that surrounded me. It was like the first day at a new school, and I was the foreign exchange student.

t the first glance, neither Mark Shane nor Eric Mazzetti appear to be the type to favor category five rapids and 90 ft. drops over the quite solitude of their offices.

As a three-and-a-half hour drive will tell you, both of these tenured professors not only prefer the thrills of speeding through white water, but avidly seek out any and every chance to “optout” of their all-too quiet office-hours and stuffy meetings to rage through a new challenge.

hen I moved to Eugene, I knew two things: it was full of dirty hippies and that it was the only place, other than New York City that Kryptonite does not guarantee its locks. Needless to say, I left my brand-new road bike at home.

While my bike sat, safely in my garage, I was left in Eugene without a means of transportation. I could purchase a cheap junker off of the internet, but what was I to do with it once I had to fly back to the Northeast?

Many students face a similar dilemma when making the move to Eugene. Thankfully, however, the Outdoor Program has a solution. Led by student, Brianna Orr, the OP now offers students the option of participating in it’s Bike Loan Program.

Find yourself in dire need of two wheels? Brianna Orr and the Outdoor Program have a solution for you.
