University Photography Fast and Furious – Part 4
Being a university life photographer leads to different situations with every shoot booked. It can be indoors and freezing cold, and outdoors in the blazing sun. Regardless of the weather, I have to be there with the right equipment for every situation. This was shot just before the annual golf car parade began.
Fast and Furious University Photography – Part 3
Fortunately the drawing class was clothes on as I wandered in looking for subject matter to photograph. Apparently the nude model called in sick that day, and therefore made my day.
University Photography Working Fast and Furious – Part 2
Seldom to I feel so at home in my photography as when I am lucky enough to photograph artists, art classes and in artistic environments.
University Photography Working Fast and Furious – Part 1
As you can see from my already existing work on shannondrawe.com, there’s a lot of work demanded and delivered to Texas Woman’s University. The university photography thing comes as second nature to me having worked as “The University Photographer” for the University of North Texas right before graduating from there, and both schools have called on me over the years. UNT is chock full of photography staff now, so there is no reason for them to call (that’s were all the big buck tuition goes these days – faculty and staff expenses), but TWU has been steady for something like seventeen years.
Anyway, this is the first of at least twenty photo posts showing the photography work that has been going on with TWU in the past few weeks.
Veteran’s Day 11-11-11
There will be a lot of noise and a lot of people on the Square in Downtown Denton, Texas, tomorrow. I was talking to a local businessman and Vietnam veteran yesterday, on the location of another shoot related to 11-11, and he said there’ll be a Huey fly over. So that unmistakeable thump will just add to the feelings running through the dense crowds expected to converge on the Square.
I will be working there as well, and it will be great to be back in circulation with that crowd – doing my thing.

Summer Draws to an End in North Texas
Summer 2011 will go down in history as, at minimum, the second hottest summer in recorded history. As Yogi Berra said, “It aint’ over ’till it’s over,” and the fat lady hasn’t died of heatstroke just yet.
There are signs though. The students of UNT and TWU are back in Denton, Texas, driving the wrong way down the streets, and generally getting to know the quirky little big town of Denton. It’ll take some getting used to – for them. Us, we’re already used to it; we pull our seat belts a little snugger, and run about ten-miles-per-hour slower to lessen the impacts. It’s all good though. As one long gone wise old man once said, “Denton wouldn’t have made a town except for those universities!” Well, it may not have made a town, if you consider a transient population of 48-thousand students significant. I do.
So it’s back to work for TWU, and back to work for the business community of Denton – those with the wisdom to know the difference between a professional and not. It’s a hard place, but this is where we live, and survive.
Look for some fresh work to be coming down the way here in the next few weeks, and perhaps some new clients as well.
University Photography for TWU – Done a Bit Differently
Sometimes you have to just say, what the heck, and see what a little image manipulation does for the product. I am still looking for the cutting edge for TWU, but this kind of image processing is fairly easy, and does generate more of a theme to their campaigns.
TWU Fall Campaign Underway
School may be out, but we’re just getting started at Texas Woman’s University here in Denton, Texas. We have a few more shoots on the calendar already, and if we can get the weather to cooperate (it seems we are having a late spring around here), then there will be several new images to add to my “Higher Education” portfolio. 
Back and Forth
Headed back to Mosaic this morning for more new shots for their website updates. Then, it’s a scouting mission at Texas Woman’s University for a couple of shoots coming this week.
Glad the Richard Davis Sculpture site is flying along, and that show is off the ground at the Main Street Gallery in Saint Jo, Texas. It is a great feeling to create websites like the one I did for Richard Davis, and have it all go so well, and bring him to the top of all searches for his work. Time to go fishing with Richard now that that’s done! You can see I have added a page for websites I have created on this site – Website Creation is that page.
It’s hard to go wrong with the wordpress underpinnings, and I create sites that are simple, highly visible and of course – capable of being turned over to the client for their own best use.

TWU on the way to the NCAA Basketball Tournament
TWU had a first ever sendoff for their women’s basketball team yesterday. They’re headed to March Madness, in Talequah, Oklahoma, so it may not get that mad. It was their first time, but probably not their last.
