The UNF Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life suspended the UNF, or Zeta Zeta, chapter of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Feb. 11, citing allegations of university policy violations.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK Introducing

Kimberly Lindsey Major: Photography The District’s Minor: Art History Junior newest addition….

I find moving water fascinating when photographed. When photographing water I strive to capture it in unique patterns and shapes. When a long shutter speed is used water can look like mist. When a short shutter speed is used it freezes it in its tracks. For The Shuttle!* this photograph I chose a short shutter speed. By using a side angle while shooting up, I was able to capture reflections in the distorted bubbles, which make them look like liquid mercury. This photograph was made digitally and the only post processing used was an unsharp mask and a little color brightening.
