My photo slideshow is about the fun and games that are happening at the University of Denver in the evenings. This was a Hall Council event on the Nagel Lawn where they had Frisbee, Connect-4, and a Ball Toss in order to celebrate the warmer evenings we have been having. I wanted to capture the games as they were being played, and how they evidently were making students feel more relaxed as we came into the new Quarter.
