A glass is set up for a still life drawing in the Art-Sociology building. ARTH389 is a three hour class that meets once a week.

It took three tries for me to get the glass onto the picture plane for my drawing class because the light kept moving.

A stone piece outside of the chapel lists events from 2001-2001 at Maryland. I walk past it often and the trees above looked interesting in the reflection.

I take Dash for walks around campus, and Wednesday, March 13 was a beautiful day for a walk around the mall.

I take Dash outside for at least an hour each day, but sometimes he is not in the mood to play.

Photo Assignment #6, Nebbia

In a day of the life of Erin Nebbia, I typically start my day at work walking into Judiciary Square to meet up with the attorneys who are working on cases. I work as a private investigator for the Criminal Defense & Prisoner Advocacy Clinic at Georgetown University Law Center.

On March 11, 2019, the majority of my morning and early afternoon was spent in the Medicaid office of the District of Columbia in search of records for one of our criminal defense clients. Visitors spent an average of two hours waiting to be called in this particular office.

As an investigator, a lot of my job is searching for records on clients along with any other evidence or background information. My partner, Alexis Spencer-Anderson, is pictured above as we waited for records from Pre-Trial Services in the District of Columbia Vital Records Department

My last stop of the day was to search for family background records at the Department of the Housing Authority. Throughout Judiciary Square, the District of Columbia's flag waves proudly.
