Фотографы журнала Hustler подвели итоги летних поездок по США

As the first days of undergraduate classes begin, we look back on some of the Hustler photographers whose journeys took them across the United States, from the high mountains of Colorado and the grimy swamps of Louisiana to the plains of Georgia during a well-deserved break. George Albu, Photography Editor This summer mainly consisted of staying close to my hometown roots, aside from a week-long cruise that I did not photograph to remain in the moment. I opted to dive deep into my small town, trying to find the details, as renovations began to replace the old city hall and police station with a coffee shop and a burger chain. This summer, it appears that a stray cat had begun taking refuge at the local community garden, typically hiding under benches or munching the occasional bite from a tomato. Overall, aside from doing remote research and taking my LSAT, this was a relatively quiet summer for me; perhaps that is what I really needed to rest and reset. Alice Chen, Staff Writer and Photographer This summer, I traveled to Colorado with Vanderbilt’s School of Engineering for a visit to the Sterling Ranch community, where we learned about water resources and sustainability. Then, I traveled to Washington, D.C., for an aquarium and ocean conservation conference and presented my policy project at the United States Capitol. I returned to Nashville, Tennessee, to conduct nuclear waste research in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Finally, I returned home to New York City, hung out with friends and went to a New York Mets game. Royce Yang, Deputy Photography Editor This summer began with a brief trip to New Orleans to visit several friends I met while studying abroad in London last fall. It involved a memorable mix of swamp critters, grandiose architecture and an entire afternoon spent on the bank of the Mississippi River observing various waterfowl. The remainder of the summer was then mostly spent in and around Nashville. Like humidity, spirits remained high throughout the past several months.
