I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m referencing that because this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s photo-haiku is not about the frighteningly outsized buildings sprouting all over town \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about peeps. As you drive by the construction site at 140 W. Franklin St., your eye is naturally drawn upward at the sheer enormity of the structure. But I find myself drawn to the construction workers clambering all over their Gulliver. Earlier this semester, undergraduate photojournalism student Ryan Cocca must have been seeing the same thing too when he photographed this pair. Posing for their environmental portrait, Dusty Blankenship (left) and Deek \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rodbuster\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Simmons describe themselves as buds, a fact you can clearly see for yourself by their body language \u00e2\u20ac\u201c almost like choreography. So don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ever forget, whatever we may build, ultimately it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all about peeps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
