Webb hopes to expand his skills and become a television photographer. He said a television photographer is a combination of a photojournalist and a cameraman. I think television is a better way to tell the story because people actually see it, Webb said. He added, They (the viewers) get to see several minutes of your work instead of one image. Third-place winner Rebecca Gentry said she enjoys snapshots as seen in her winning entry. Gentry snapped the photo of her pink toenails while relaxing on the island of Eleuthera. She worked for Club Med during a summer recreation course sponsored by ASU. Gentry, a junior broadcast journalism major, said, The photo symbolizes the good summer I spent I at Club Med. She also said that she is interested in photog- raphy because one image can be perceived in many different ways. ■ Story by Kim Kaan Depending on a spinfrom the Wild Ride, the men ' s gymnastics team uses the ride to raise money for their varsity sport.
