For some drivers, traffic tickets are a part of life. Tickets are so common that many do not question the fines when they receive them. Delores Bunch- Keemer is not like most people. When Keemer received two tickets in the mail, she did not know what they were for or from where they came. “My daughter saw them and told me they were from the red light on the corner of Windy Hill and Cobb Parkway in Marietta,” said Keemer, a senior finance major. The light has seen its share of traffic problems. “The intersection has one of the highest accident rates in the nation,” Keemer said. After looking at both citations, she saw the times were inconsistent. She realized the light was not set correctly and, before she went to court, she timed the light. Keemer found the light was set at random in- tervals. “It was never at exactly four seconds,” she said. “Four seconds is too short, the speed limit is 45 miles per hour. You need 4.5 seconds to stop.” Keemer found a lot of people were trying to stop, but couldnʼt. “They just went under the light anyway.” The camera takes a picture of the vehicleʼs li- cense plate as the car goes over the white line, once it is under the light and after it has gone under the red light. “When you go to court, the judge has all of these pictures along with the ticket,” Keemer said. “So, it is pretty hard to say you did not get the ticket.” She shared her findings with the judge and told him the lightʼs timing was incorrect.

It is time to step Snapshots away from the mainstream reality genre consisting of sex, alcohol and partying to take a closer look at some- thing truly and incompara- bly real. Such honesty can be found right on campus, with Dr. David Redmond and Ashley Sebinʼs inde- pendent film documentary Intimidad. The film is truly intimate. Documented in northern Mexico, the story revolves around a young Mexican couple struggling to find work and happiness. Redmond said, “I want people to know that these workers, immigrants, that come to America were people first. They worked, they sweated, and they were lovers and fighters before we put them into categories.” The film began as an at- tempt to document a Victoriaʼs Secret bra throughout its existence. The purpose was to cap- ture how many lives one bra could travel through, starting with its manufac- ture. However, it evolved as Redmond and Sebin Above: On-Call Marietta Police officer. realized their story was not with the bra. It was with the first stage of the braʼs de- velopment. “I wanted to bring hu- manity into objects we nor- mally take advantage of,” Redmond said.

They struggle through life altering changes like relocating their house, separation and leaving their daughter.

Their ar- guments were sometimes even humorous, but I was starting to feel that as they were happening, they were really hurting inside,” said Chris Mont, 21. “In this film, there is a realization that these relationships are real. I found it extremely powerful.” This touching story has the ability and the poten- tial to change the way we view human interaction. As noted in the film, we are not connected just through our physical relationships with one another. Through common objects, ideas and themes our individual sto- ries are intertwined. “It was nothing but raw emotion,” said Nikki Rankin, a junior business major.
