ALL MATERIAL COPYRIGHT 1997 DC DALY NEBRASKAN Study Abroad photographs show snapshots of culture By Lindsay Young Staff Reporter Casey Bulk wanted to show people what Mexico was all about. So he entered a photo contest Burk, a University of Nebraska Lincoln senior history and English major, turned in three photos he took in Mexico this summer to the Study Abroad Photo Contest sponsored by International Affairs. The contest was introduced at the Study Abroad Extravaganza this fall. He said he entered the contest to give people a different perspective on Mexico. People often view it as a large desert and completely poverty stricken, Burk said. He tried to show the other sideinhispictures. “It’s always nice to enhance and dis pute what (people) believe,” Burk said. However, Burk won second place in the contest with his black-and-white picture of a homeless woman. He also entered pictures of a Mexican native with flowers and a mural depicting suf frage from Spain. “There is a lot of culture and diver sity, and it’s a really exciting place,” Burk said. Shaney Sanders, marketing assis tant for Study Abroad, said the photo contest was held to give students an opportunity to share experiences such as Burk’s through photos. This was the second Study Abroad photo contest The deadline for the pictures was Oct 9, and contest winners were noti fied this week. Ken Maxwell won the $50 first prize with a picture that gives the illu sion ofhim holding up the Tower of Pisa in Italy. He studied in Florence. Come Suhr, who spent her summer in Mexico, won third place. Others who won recognition for their pictures were Cecil Howell, who studied in Japan; Todd Anderson, with a picture from Mexico; and Warner Myers, who also studied in Italy. Pictures were judged on content, appeal, and how they represented study ing abroad. Sanders said International Affairs received a variety of photos. They received artistic photos, land scapes and marketplace photos, she said Sixty photos were entered into the contest Some of die photos will be used in promotions for the Study Abroad pro gram, Sanders said Sanders said they hope the planned new brochures, which will include these pictures, help to lure new students into the program. The photos will be displayed on the International Affairs Web site at http://www. iaffairs. uni. edu/study_abno ad ^ . _
