Rice Media Center presents student photography exhibit
by Chris Hopeman
The 34th Annual Rice Student Exhibition is currently on display in the Rice Media Center.

The exhibition features the work of more than 20 student photographers whose 60+ photographs are divided among 38 discrete exhibits.

The show, which has been running since May, is a multi-level exhibition that has no dominant theme or subject.

The show's only continuity comes from the fact that all the photographs were produced by Rice students enrolled in Rice photography classes.

The featured photographers range in skill from novice to expert, and their work includes black & white, still nature prints and time-delayed, action color photographs.

Eric Zapata (Lovett '96), a returning photography student, had good overall impressions of the show.

"It is one of the strongest shows in the past few years," Zapata said. "The prints are really good. [However,] there is not a lot of meaning or thought behind the prints -- they are for the most part image-driven."

The gallery is located on the first and second floors of the Rice Media Center (directly across the street from Campus Police Station) and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The show runs through the end of September.
