History In the Making--Your Photos!

Good Morning UB (or whatever time of day you're reading this),

I'd like to send out a quick WOW to all of you who sent in your photos of life around UB and Mount Vernon over the past week. Definitely some cool stuff going on! If you don't see your photos here this week, look for them throughout the rest of the summer.

Today's submissions start with the big picture: the monuments and icons that have come to define UB Midtown. Rounds of applause go to Sarah Brown for the modern submissions and to Aiden Faust of UB Special Collections for the historical perspective.

Anyone interested in more historical print or photo work is encouraged to search UB's archives at http://archives.ubalt.edu/photographs.htm. I also recommend the Maryland Historical Society's online collection at http://www.mdhs.org/.

To send in more of your photos, email as an attachment to jason.ubblog@gmail.com

Send Me Your Photos and "Overheards"

What's up UB family and random people that love reading this blog?

Two weeks ago, I put out a call for people to send me photos they had taken around UB and Mount Vernon. Well, so far, the response has been POOR. So this week, I'm opening it up again. BTW, please try to avoid pics with people in it that are not you, and keep the pics PC! Thanks.

ALSO, now introducing the option to send in things you heard around campus that amused/confused/shocked/intrigued you. This should sound familiar to anyone that has read the "Overheard in NYC" blog.

So yeah, there we are. Good luck eavesdropping.
