Whoa!!! What a week… We finished up this marathon week at The University of Connecticut in Storrs.. UCONN was our fourth stop this week. We started the week off on Monday at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, then worked at Virginia Wesleyan College on Tuesday in Norfolk.. We then drove 406 miles to Asheville North Carolina and Warren Wilson College on Wednesday, and finally back home for a shoot at UCONN..
The focus for today’s shoot was outdoor fall colors, students outside and some architecture shots at Dusk, thanks so much for the late start Sean, we really needed it..
Here are a bunch from UCONN:

We’ve been staying at a great hotel on campus at IUPUI the last four nights.. One of the greatest things about it is the FREE wi-fi for guests.. It is unbelieveable, there isn’t a place on campus where the signal goes below “full bars”.. Makes my life much easier on location.. I refuse to get a Blackberry, an IPhone?, well that’s a different story..
Anyway here is one from this morning of the IUPUI architecture.. Hope you enjoy.

I periodically check my web traffic to see how people link to our blog… Ahhh the power of Google… There are some really interesting keyword combos to say the least… By far the largest set of keyword phrases to our website have centered around “dorm photos”, “real dorm shots”, “dorm rooms” and other similar keyword clusters centered around the word “dorm” followed by specific school name. I found it quite interesting that there were so many hits to “this site”.. It appears that kids really want to know where they are going to be living during their time at school.. What schools have done a good job at depicting “dorm life” on their site? Would love to hear from everyone..To see our entire online portfolio of admissions viewbook photography goto:
As thousands of prospective college students flock to our nation’s colleges and universities the Washington Timesran a piece in yesterday’s paper about the process profiling a few schools…According to TargetX A recent study indicated that 71% of incoming students ranked the campus visit as the most trusted source of information and yet colleges still don’t put much effort into making it an authentic, personalized experience.I have to agree with this study, but would love to get some insight from students on what they want in a college tour..Personally I think that there should be two tours, One with just students and One with just the parents.. After they head off in separate ways, compare the two experiences to see what the outcome was..We see a lot of these tours on a daily basis during the Fall and Spring semesters and what I have observed is that the parents ask all the questions and the students have little to say. This seems to be quite similar with Orientations and parents and students together.. The kids really don’t seem to act themselves..To see our entire online portfolio of admissions viewbook photography goto FJ GAYLOR Photography
After announcing the closing of Antioch a few weeks ago and a frightening article about Eatern Oregon University’s enrollment struggles. Is this the beginning of a trend we are going to start seeing over the next decade and more? In my opinion there will be several LAC’s going belly up in the next decade or so.. What does everyone think out there.. Are your enrollment management groups starting to address this as a real concern, or are we all still riding the enrollment boom?
