A wave of cell phones dancing in the air of a dimmed Finney Chapel during Friday Night Organ Pump mimics a swarm of fireflies. The image also serves as inspiration for this week鈥檚 photo series.

 

Halloween brought out a capacity audience, many in costume, for last week鈥檚 . The program, an 91直播 College tradition since 1992, features students from the 91直播 Conservatory Organ Department on the C.B. Fisk, Opus 116 organ. Toward the end of the concert, students are invited on stage to feel the vibrations of the organ as it is played. The Lights are turned off and many participants close their eyes as the music envelops them.

In this week鈥檚 photo series, we take a look at several images that have a transporting effect.
