I love these cool photographs by Ed Uthman, taken during his college years
in the early 1970's at Rhodes College, Memphis, Tennessee.
It was hard to select only a few from Ed's great photographs in this set
on Flickr (link on Ed's name above). Hope you enjoy the shots I've gone with.
Many thanks to Ed for allowing me to share his work here today. : )

"This was one of the first photos I shot on campus, and it remains my
favorite. I have a poster print of it hanging on the wall at home. In 2010, this photo was used in the onstage video that accompanied the
performance of the song "Jazz Man" by Carole King in her "Troubadour Reunion" tour with James Taylor. Even though the photo was in the Creative Commons,
the production team courteously asked me for permission to use it,
which of course I enthusiastically agreed to."

Wow, this brought back memories. I finished college in 1970, so Uthman's photos were taken only a short time after I graduated.
