This is various photos at the UNC ASA Presents: Journey Into Asia 2014 "Beginnings" show on November 8th, 2014. The photos in this slideshow were shot by Cam Carrithers and each was uploaded directly off the camera to our website so there hasn't been any color work on the photos in this slideshow. It's just right off the camera to you. Their website has many great things about their organization. A few of the photos in this slideshow and others we got are going to be on their website and on their social media. Check out their website if you can. Thanks so much! Love you all.  http://asaatunc.com/jia
