New Campus Coffee Table Book Teaser

The second edition of my campus coffee table book should be ready for purchase by the end of June or early July.

This book will be a bit larger than the first edition, an 8 x 10 inch format.

The first edition was titled "Reflections" and the second edition will be call "Seasons". I picked "Seasons", because, no matter what time year it is, the campus looks beautiful.

The cover for the second edition was selected from a final group of four by Raider Power.com posters in a poll. The one selected won hands down and features the Masked Rider statue during the summer with the geraniums in full bloom.

The center of the book will feature a full-page shot and I have provided a sneak peak below.

The layout of the photos has been completed and I am now adding the captions and text. I'll make sure and post when it is ready to be purchased.

When I published the first book two years ago, I didn't think I would have enough pictures this soon to make another book. I was surprised to find out I hand plenty for the new project and there is only one photo in the first edition that appears in the second edition.

I've been taking pictures of campus now for eight years and I appreciate all the comments and suggestions that I've had over that time and plan to keep this little project going.

New TTU Campus Pictures - 6/11/2012

This group of campus pictures includes photos of the Kent R. Hance chapel, the new residence hall at 19th and Boston, and the new clubhouse at the Rawls Golf Course.

The landscaping around the chapel is close to being completed and the building is officially open.

The exterior brick work on new and dining hall is probably close to 90% done and they have started on sidewalks and landscaping around the building.
