Untitled Photo by Kyle Bubb

Taken during a May Term experience teaching at Hwa Nan College in Fuzhou, China.

“This photo was taken on one of our first days in Fuzhou. It is one of many main roads in Fuzhou, a city of over 7 million people. The photo overlooks not only the street, but a popular shopping mall called Lifespace and a supermarket called Tesco, which we found ourselves using quite often. I initially took the photo simply to have a record of the places I went in China. However, now it's more of a memento of the trip. The photo reminds me that while China and America are on opposite sides of the world, speak completely different languages, and no doubt have differing views on morals, politics and priorities, we are still united by the simplest of things – things as minute as shopping at a local mall with friends and family.”

“The Essence of Baseball; Culture of Boston” by Kelsey Martin

Taken at Fenway Park in Boston, Mass., during the Discover Boston and Beyond course with Dr. Pam Mickelson, professor of business administration.

“This photo was taken during a tour of Fenway Park on top of the infamous ‘Green Monster,’ or like they say in Boston, ‘The Green Monstah.’  This photo is meaningful to me because it represents the culture of the Red Sox Nation (Boston). Fenway Park is not only a public symbol for the community, but also a standing legend for all baseball fans to visit. It is more than just a place to watch baseball; it is a culture of Boston. Rich in tradition, generations upon generations of Bostonians have been attending baseball games at this stadium since it opened in the early 1900s.  Although empty in this particular photo, an ambiance of the rich culture of America’s pastime radiates throughout the picture.”
