This week's photography assignment was described as open ended - choose something of interest and then work with different apertures, shutter speeds, white balance, etc.
I decided to play with water a bit and of course share the 1 shot that I thought was pretty slick.
This was captured at a zoo where an underground observatory is hidden under a waterfall spilling into a eagle preserve's all-you-can-eat fish buffet.
The rest of the pictures focused on capturing water in motion, splashes, breaking the surface of water pools, etc.
Wonder how this would look as wallpaper for my laptop.. hmm....
Received a request to talk to a gorup of high school students about internet safety...
me? kids? really? wow..
So this had me thinking how to even begin to design an 'informal' conversation with high school students about this.
I had this theme pop in my head.. "Polaroid Cameras and Pandora's Box..."
I am debating going to this thing with a polaroid camera and asking someone close to me to smile
when I take a picture.. then kick off the conversation with "Now.. suppose this was a nude of you.. get your hands
on it and you can be somewhat comfortable you have contained the issue.. but on the internet..."
Other things I might consider for them..
- what to share online
- relate my own experiences from when I had an online stalker show up at my door
- chat rooms
- identity theft - drawing the distinction between theft of what exists versus stealing enough to forge new assets
- stealing copyright materials? do I even care?
