The equipment checkout was all locked up when I got there.

I was originally locked out of this room, so I had to come back in about an hour or so to take this picture.

I’ve never actually been in this place, but I am always smelling the popcorn when I go by!

Every time I am waiting to meet with an academic advisor (Judy Gates), I am checking out all this beautiful art. Come check it out. It’s free!

I know I am not the only one who doesn’t really know what this is. Maybe I’ll learn in this class?

The guy working at the Reference counter in the library was trying to charge me five dollars to take a picture of the counter.

This is a very interesting piece of art, and I know very little about it. I know that it is covered with engravings, but I didn’t stay long enough to see what the engravings were about.

Ingram was very busy at the time (doing his job, of course), so here’s a picture of his door!

I had trouble finding this place on campus, but someone in the library was willing to show me where it was. He also informed me that this room will be changing to something else, but I can’t remember what it was changing to, unfortunately.

Once again, Judy was very busy at that time, so here’s another fascinating picture of a door! I guess I didn’t time my scavenger hunt very well.

I had to take a number of different pictures of Teresa’s office because I would always look back at the pictures and a reflection of myself in the window taking the picture. This angle seemed to be the most useful considering the situation.

I really need to pay more attention, because I just found out that Lane had so many flags of different countries!

This turkey is the coolest turkey on campus! She stood there for about 30 seconds, standing still, just for me to take her picture (or because she thought that if she stood very still, I would eventually leave).

I also decided to take this shot as well because I didn’t want to just take a picture of a turkey; I wanted something a little different and more original. 

 

There I was, looking like a fool snapping a close-up picture of the Equipment Checkout sign…

It’s kind of hard to take pictures of the Studios when they locked! I had to ask someone to let me in…

Man, that’s a lot of resources! Thank you Student Engagement Center!!

I am always amazed by the art in the campus’s own Art Gallery!

Can’t get enough art by just visiting the Art Gallery? Thankfully, the nearby Art-o-Mat can get you some art for five bucks apiece!

Hush!!! It’s the Library!

It may not look silver, but this in fact is the Silver Sculpture by the Health and Wellness Building!

There I was awkwardly taking pictures of someone’s door. In this case my victim is Ingram!!

If the media creation resources of Building 18 just aren’t enough, I’m pleased to announce that there are even more resources located in the library!!

Yet again, I was making myself look like a fool by taking pictures of Judy Gates’s meeting sign-up sheet next to her office!

Next victim: Teresa Hughes’s office!

Need help with figuring out where to start? Come to the Students First Building!

I wanted to have find a turkey to victimize with my camera, but I decided to victimize half of the campus instead!

First up is the Equipment checkout counter in building 18, the students working here are very friendly and helped me out with some camera tips. Be sure to learn their schedule if you ever need to check out equipment!

 

This is the Studio room with the “Blue Cyc Wall” in building 18, it’s used as a back drop for photo shoots and video recording. This place opened up in the Winter term so it’s still pretty new!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Center for Student Engagement is where you can find information about school clubs, fun activities like board games, and popcorn!

 

The main Art Gallery on campus has different exhibitions all the time, one of my favorite recurring exhibitions is the “Annual Faculty Exhibition.”

 

The “Art-O-Mat” machine is a very interesting little machine, you insert a $5 and you can get a surprise piece of art varying from tiny sculptures to beautiful earrings and necklaces.

 

The library is located in the Center building in the second floor, it contains a large computer lab and friendly staff to help you with technical problems and how to find resources or textbooks.

 

The “Health and Wellness center” can easily be found on campus because of the beautiful, silver structure sitting in front of it. You can capture a lot of beautiful photos, by shooting the structure from different angles.

 

Ingram is our Arts division Office Specialist, you can find his office in building 11. It was my first time meeting him, but he seems to be very kind and approachable.

 

The Media Creation Lab is located in the Center building, inside the library. There’s usually plenty of room here, quiet and all adobe creative cloud programs are installed in all the computers. If you have a big multimedia project come here, the ram and storage in the computers can make your projects go a lot faster.

 

Judy Gates is our Media Arts counselor, she’s very kind and helpful; I wish I had gotten to know her sooner, since she’s been a great source of support for myself and others I’m sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Teresa’s office is located in building 18, it’s pretty easy to recognize because of all the little clay figurines lined up on her windowsill.

 

In building 1 the “students first building,” you can find lots of places and resources such as the “Gender equity center,” and the multicultural center.

 

Welcome to Lane! Hope you enjoy your time here!

 

You can totally climb the latter in this room if you have a camera in your hands.

 

 

 

This popcorn is F R E E, and pretty dang good.

Wonderful works of art from students here at Lane.

I have no idea what this thing is or was used for.

where you can go to find help looking up or verifying a source.

this piece of art has some cool quotes engraved onto it.

This dude is really cool about getting his picture taken!

another room of computers in the library

awesome counselor! very helpful with any scheduling needs.

These ceramic sculptures are pretty cool! i love the cyborg frog!

a beautiful display of nations flags from around the world!

this turkey is not a happy camper as I chased it in and out of bushes…

 

I went on a journey this week in order to find the best places and people to know in order to get ahead here at Lane. My first mission was to locate the Equipment Checkout, a place to get whatever devices we are going to need throughout the next few years.

Found it! This is going to be a frequently visited spot I’m sure! Okay up next we have the studio with the “Big Cyc Wall” hmmm, there’s a door marked studio 1, wonder what’s in there…

There it is, wonderful. This is where we have photography class as well. Now it’s time for the Center for Student Engagement building. Well that must be in the Center.

Yup here we are, also there’s popcorn, and it’s free! Our journey should now lead us to the main art gallery, probably in the old media building I’m guessing.

Look at this cool bunny-cat-rooster, I like it! This also appears to be the gallery we were looking for…

Nice, we also found the Art-o-mat as well! Let’s check out the library now.

Rows and rows of books, it’s beautiful, a place of learning indeed. I hear there’s a media lab in here too, but first let’s go see the large sculpture outside.

Look at it shining in the sun, what a cool structure.

And look we have Ingram sitting in his office, look at that pose! Back to the library we have…

 

The media creation lab, there’s also one in building 18 and I’m sure there will be lots of hours typing away on these computers. Looking back towards the old Media Arts Building we have,

Judy Gates, our program advisor, working on some fun things I’m sure. Let’s find Teresa Hughs office now.

Look at these cool figures she has in her office! I love the On Air switch as well, it cycles through a ton of different colors. We are almost done with our adventure but a few more stops first.

We have these flags located in the Students First building, a great place to go for all kinds of information about the campus and classes. Finally we turn to, arguably, the most important staple of the Lane campus, the greatest part about the college, and what we’ll be seeing most while we’re here…

The beautiful and majestic turkeys we have running all over campus. I don’t know what they’re doing here, but I think they’re absolutely wonderful. This poor little guy was probably upset that I followed it to get a picture, but it was certainly worth it in the end. Thus our journey is now complete and we have a better understanding of the campus as a whole. Thank you for accompanying me on this wonderful quest, I’m sure there will be many more to come as we continue on!
