Top Left: This photo was taken on the middle floor at the Freshman center. One day as I was waiting for my ride I looked out the window and noticed a few holes on the window fences. I wonder I wonder how they got there. Top Right: Ricky Rodrigues’16, my partner for this project, in between the brick columns in the commons area. Left: This hole was by the stairway in the outdoor plaza. I think its for the water to flow out of the floor. Not sure. 4 FEBRUARY 2014

It was a perfect chance for me to snap a shot from him.
