Scavenger Hunt: UC Berkeley
By Dania Yamout
This is my Scavenger Hunt, or photo essay, done at the UC Berkeley campus and it’s surrounding area in June 2017. My challenge is to showcase the 10 best photographs from this class assignment. For the record, it was very hard to narrow it down to just 10 photographs. Here they are:
This photo was taken on the morning of June 3, 2017 right outside the BART train station in Berkeley, California. This busy street scene is on the corner of Center Street and Shattuck Street.
This photo was taken on the morning of June 3, 2017 inside the Downtown Berkeley BART train station in Berkeley, California. These busy commuters are on their way with no time to chat!
This photo was taken around noon on the corner of Shattuck Street and Hearst Avenue on June 3, 2017 in Berkeley, California. Here are a couple of hungry UC Berkeley students, who are too busy to sit and eat lunch. This street corner will have to do!
This photo was taken around noon, across from Kroeber Hall on Bancroft Way, on June 1, 2017 in Berkeley, California. Here is a protest banner against Charles Phan, while a large Grim Reaper seems to threaten an unaware construction worker.
This photo was taken early morning on Bancroft Way, across from the AC Transit bus station and main entrance to UC Berkeley, on June 2, 2017 in Berkeley, California. This city worker looks on as the garbage truck disposes of the garbage on this quiet morning.

This photo was taken in the courtyard across from UC Berkeley’s Cesar E. Chavez Student Center, on June 3, 2017, in Berkeley, California. These four lovely friends have spent the day having fun and shooting videos around UC Berkeley. As you can see, they are not shy in front of the camera!

Last but not least: This photo was taken in the late afternoon on Haste Street, in Berkeley, California on June 3, 2017. The street art on this wall is so stunning, that it stops this cyclist in his tracks, all so that he can take a closer look at all those beautiful details.
