Wow. \u00a0I can’t believe how quickly the course is moving!<\/p>\n
I am very grateful to have the opportunity to connect with VOICES of 9\/11. \u00a0Like others in the class, I was very moved going through the materials submitted for Lloyd Rosenberg. \u00a0I like the way that the gathering of content takes place at VOICES — Giving the families a chance to be the curators of their own content. \u00a0The images that his wife Glenna included of his daughters growing up were very touching (He was survived by three daughters – all under the age of 5).<\/p>\n
Probably in part due to the nature my 580 project, I have also been thinking a lot about the power of images. \u00a0While at VOICES, I found it amazing how quickly I felt like I knew Lloyd. \u00a0I think that images are very powerful instruments of communication. \u00a0I have always been someone who is interested in art, and very visual in the way that I think. \u00a0I often find that photos\/art images have emotional impact that is more immediate than text. \u00a0Much of the research that I am going through for 580 points to the world that we live in becoming more visual, more digital, and more interactive. \u00a0I am glad to be taking part in such \u00a0forward-thinking collection.<\/p>\n
Despite some initial apprehensiveness with Dublin Core, it is starting to make a little more sense. \u00a0Miguel and I are in the process of getting our photos in OMEKA and filling in the Dublin Core fields. \u00a0Our project is on a good track, and I am looking forward to getting started on the “Mail Art” project. \u00a0It fascinates me to see how children interpret visually.<\/p>\n
