An exhibit of 94 photos showing life in the oil patch of western North Dakota is on display until June 7 in the Memorial Union Gallery at North Dakota State University.
The photos in the exhibit, titled “Faces of the Oil Patch,” were taken by Fargo native Wayne Gudmundson. The themes of the 11 photo groupings are landscapes, ranchers, rig workers, wives, Bakken Central/trucks, assorted workers, reservation, road conditions, law enforcement, housing, realtors and help wanted. Each grouping is accompanied by a quote.
The Memorial Union Gallery summer hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
NDSU is an economic engine of the state, a top-ranked – and growing – national research power.
