If you have not yet seen “Chasing Dr. Who,” a photography exhibit by Christine Samoore, you can do so through June 29 in the James S. Murray Gallery, located on the second floor of Menard Hall. The photos feature landmarks from the British show, “Dr. Who,” and also serve as individual studies of architecture and composition. Samoore is co-owner of Prairie Custom Frames in Springfield, and you can often find her interpreting in American Sign Language in classrooms at LLCC.
