This semester has definitely started off with a bang. A week and a half before school started, I was given the Photo Editor position due to unforeseen circumstances. Unfortunately, this is the reason for Shots of the Week to come on a not so weekly basis. The good thing about it is that I have the opportunity to train a whole new generation of motivated Shorthorn photographers. Hopefully as the semester continues and the new photographers grow, I will have more time to shoot and just manage. With that, on to the shots. First up are a few shots that did not run in print but were just interesting in relation to campus life at UTA. This hawk has stalked squirrels on campus for some time and this was my first opportunity to catch it in action as a crowd looked on. In other news, the DFW area just braved what many have been calling snowmageddon and some of my favorite shots have come from what the campus looked like during this time. Myself, one of my staff and a few other Shorthorners tackled the weather to give the community a vision what was happening at UTA. The weather did not detour the Movin' Mavs from having practice as ice covered most of campus as they prepared for the upcoming tournament over the weekend. Until next time, enjoy.
