Many, many years later I left my beloved West Texas (which will always be home) to try out that idea.  Through my research and teaching, I explore the importance of place — how it somehow acts as a microcosm of all that we are or hope to be.  Through my photography, I hope to capture some tiny glimpse of its meaning.

Here are a few lines from “Empty Spaces” from Pink Floyd, an English rock band originating in the 1960s and 1970s and known for a subgenre called “space rock.”  It speaks to me;  hope you like it too.

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces where we used to talk?
How shall I fill the final places?
How shall I complete the wall?
–Pink Floyd

The Student Space page now has a featured video made by students.

Thanks to Dusty Garner who masterminded the design of this website.  My hope for this space is to track our connections, from the meanderings of my mind to the wonders (and wonderings) of yours.

Currently, I’m a great fan of the HBO series The Wire.  Check out my Wireology posts on Twitter!
