Calling all photographers!

Attention everyone interested in taking photos for The Tartan! As we wait on our writers to submit their pieces in the next couple of weeks, we wanted to give you a chance to start contributing to the magazine too.

For the inside and back covers we want SFU photographers to recreate some fun photos from SFU’s early years and put them into any modern context they want. Included below are a bunch of photos from 1966-67 that we’d like to see you reshoot in 2015. Find the location, or an equivalent location, and show how these moments in time would play out today! Let’s see how much (or how little) things have changed.

Here are a few examples we shot today…


The fountain in the mall isn’t quite what it used to be.


Cramming for exams has changed a bit, and at the same time hasn’t changed a bit.


Freedom Square doesn’t quite draw the crowd it once did.

Get the idea? Here are some old photos you can recreate. We’ll be sending out more in the coming weeks but these should get you started. Be as creative as you can and have fun with this!

Alright, have at it! Photo submissions are to be sent to [email protected] by Thursday, July 23, 2015.

Can’t wait to see what you all send in!

The university recently unveiled the new campus gondola. Only, it doesn’t exist in the physical realm. SFU’s cable car debuted as part of the school’s new virtual reality snow day package, complete with an immersive ride up the mountain to campus. “As you know, sometimes the buses just can’t make it up the mountain,” president Joy Johnson, currently serving her sixth consecutive term in hologram form, told The Beep. “But we wanted to find another way to provide our students with that on-campus experience that they so value. So we figured, why not go ahead and do...
