ASI Events Presents Student Photography Exhibit in UU Gallery Jan. 30- Feb. 21;
Reception, Live Music Set for Jan. 30 in Gallery

SAN LUIS OBISPO --Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) Events will display Cal Poly art and design junior Mike Dinsmore's
photography January 26 to February 21 in the UU Gallery. The exhibit is
free and can be viewed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.

The exhibit's grand opening is Friday, Jan. 30, 2004, from 7-9 p.m.
in the UU Gallery located in the Epicenter. Live music by local
folk-rock band Longview and free refreshments will be provided.

On display will be a collection of Dinsmore's pictorial
explorations that capture the moods of musical performers at concerts.
Dinsmore has had past experience photographing bands ranging from Brooks
and Dunn, The Ataris and Jeremy Kay.

Since he has been at Cal Poly, Dinsmore has photographed ASI Events and
Week Of Welcome concerts of the bands Sugarcult, Flogging Molly,
Goldfinger, Jason Mraz and Jars of Clay.

When asked what inspires him to compile music photography pieces for his
show, Dinsmore replied, "I've always liked music and watching musicians
play. I just want people to see what I see at a concert, like the mood
of the show and facial expressions of the performers."

The UU Gallery is located on the second floor of the University
Union in the Epicenter. For more information about this show, contact
Natalie Mathews, student supervisor of UU Gallery, at 756-6119 or
uugallery@asi.calpoly.edu.
