This photo won 3rd place in the Baylor International Student Study-abroad Photo Contest. Here was the description that was posted along side it:

I visited the Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires mainly to see Evita Peron’s grave. During my visit, I spotted this stature. I though it was quite an odd stature to be in a cemetery (as the others were of angels or the like). The statue is outside the crypt of “Lilian Crociati’ and as is the name of the statue. The life-size statue blending in with the background, but I loved the wonderful brightness of the red flowers in the picture. I however took this photo on a whim and winded up leaving a lot of headroom in the photo. I originally was going to crop it, but then it threw the whole picture out of proportion.

Wild Things

This photo won 2nd place in the Baylor International Student Study-abroad Contest. Here is the description that was with it:

"While in Mendoza, I visited the Zoo multiple times because it was so large and each time you went I would notice something different (or I just wanted to get another picture with the monkeys. As soon as I expressed my feeling about how large the Zoo was with other Mendocinos, they were surprised that I went saying that the animals have very little room to move around in and that it was cruel. I was also told that if I cared anything about animals – to not go to the Zoo in Buenos Aires, because it is much worse there. Nine days before I returned to the States, I made one last visit, I had not been to the tiger and cats’ area, so I had not seen their habitat. The lion’s habitat was quite small, and I wanted to capture the idea of wild animals being cages, hence the picture."

This photo was entered into the Baylor International StudentStudy-abroad Photo Contest, however it did not win. Here was the description that was postedalong side it:

From parts of my journal:

The last week I spent in Argentina, I traveled down to the Patagonia region of Argentina – Puerto Madryn.

“Puerto Madryn is a wonderful and fairly small (and incredibly quite) shoreline town. Nearly every picture I took there was breathtaking. I had heard about the whales that would come into Puerto Madryn’s harbor for breeding and very much wanted to see. On the morning I arrived there (after a 25 hour bus ride) to my astonishment, I saw whales from the beach, they must have only been 100 yards or so away. It was amazing! I soon noticed the tide was beginning to go out and was told the whales also would go further out, so I rented a bike and rode along the coastline, I began to notice that the tide, just kept going out! At one point I was astounded to see so much land appear after the tide went out.”

When the tide goes out it reveals numerous treasure that lay strewn across the beach front – shells, glass, rocks, and all sorts of little things.
