Everyone likes a winner. And Hinds Community College attracts and grows winners on a regular basis. Several of the athletic programs have recently produced stars who competed and won at the highest level possible for community and junior colleges in Mississippi and the nation.

Hinds Community College students who may or may not major in art, take courses in photography, ceramics, drawing, 2-D design/printmaking, graphic design, 3-D design and painting/mixed media classes andproduce work each year in their respective courses, then choose what they think is their best work to be exhibited it at the Marie Hull Art Gallery located on the Raymond Campus and entered in a contest. An outside juror comes in to judge each piece and choose winners in each category as well as overall or best-of-show pieces of art. But the winners are not the only works of art that are worthy of awe. You might like some of the talent more than the ones picked out for awards. You be the judge. Below is a sampling of just a few of the submissions to the show. I don't want to give away all of the surprise here. Come on over to the Marie Hull Art Gallery and see for yourself what Hinds has to offer in the way or talent and courses to nurture the inner artist in you. Some pieces are for sale, so you might just find yourself filling that space in your home that just needs the right artistic touch to complete your look.

If Hinds builds it, the Lady Eagles will come. A new era is being ushered in this year in Raymond, Miss. - at least for the Hinds Community College softball program. Construction was begun last spring on a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility that will soon become the new home of the Lady Eagles' softball team.

See versus look
According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, online at www. Merriam-Webster.com, the definition for "see" includes the phrases, to perceive by the eye; to come to know; to be aware of. And the definition for "look" includes, to exercise the power of vision.
I would interpret these terms and actions, in regards to using ours eyes to view, as two different ways and depths of viewing a photograph.
"Looking'' is taking in a quick and overall view, while ''seeing'' is actually engaging in finding the details of the photograph, movie, or visual.
Take the vintage photo below, for instance, of Hinds Community College from 1917, when it was just starting out as Hinds County Agricultural High School. Look at the photo and think about what is in the image. This is a photo that I scanned and plan to colorize for use in 2017, 100 years celebration.
