Mash ups


I am really excited about this Flickr business... I will be able to do so much with my Digital Photo class.

The students will be able to post their work, (once we find the legal way to do it) on these sites!!
I am very anxious to get back to the classroom and introduce this to the students.

I can't believe I may know a bit more about a computer tool than they do. (If what Marcia said is true...they aren't really that familiar with this tool).
This image, by one of my students, could be an example of a mash up in photography.

Bucktown/~A Davenport treasure


I would like to take the time to let people in the area know what a treasure we have in downtown Davenport. Bucktown is an art gallery that has working artists in various studios. There are Raku artist, jewelers, feltted hats and purse creators, as well as photographers and 2-D artists.
It is a very casual atmosphere where you always feel welcomed.
The last Friday of each month is a special evening at Bucktown; they open their doors and provide drinks and hors d'œuvres to the public while you walk through the galleries and meet the artists and possibly buy some one of a kind objects d'art.

My first day

I am so happy it is the first day of my vacation. There are so many things I need to accomplish, since I put many of them on the back burner through out the year.
I must run some errands and will be back to blogging soon.
