Tony Gannon, a member of the Webster Groves community, felt the same way.
"(The audio) really makes the photo more alive," Gannon said.
Marshall used her road trip as a way to raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation for
breast cancer.
"I got sponsors and made a Web site," Marshall said. "I also made calls directly and made
donation slips."
Marshall raised more
than $2,500.
Tracy R. Lee, a WU graduate student, said it was a great idea to help a cause that benefits a lot of people. She also really enjoyed Marshall's photographs.
"(She takes) an ordinary object and turns it into art," Lee said. "I also like the black and white; it looks timeless."
While there were several portraits, there were also a lot of pictures of the Grand Canyon.
"I started crying the first time I saw the Grand Canyon,"
Marshall said.
Gannon said viewing the photographs really sparked a reaction.
"I wanted to be there,"
Gannon said.
While some students attended the exhibit, most were from the outside community.
"There are (almost always) very few students at the exhibitions," said Bill Barrett, director of the May Gallery.
Marshall's exhibit will be showing through Oct. 19. The May Gallery is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The next exhibit will be Peter Robert Thompson's "Simple
American Places."
The opening reception is Oct. 26, and the exhibit will run through Nov. 23.
