My first post of the summer. And unlike Joyce's epic tome Ulysses, I'll keep this very brief.
This seasonal blog will chronicle, for what it's worth, a number of projects I intend to work on this summer for a variety of purposes. Some of the work will be for my media arts and video production classes. Some of projects will be for further learning on my part. And still others will be just for the fun of it...like photoshopping my mug (above)! Actually, this before and after sequence is an activity under development for next year's media arts class. Students will learn basic Photoshop techniques as part of a marking period length study of portraiture creation. And no, the students won't be subjected to working with my face as inspiration for their art. They will have fun "re-imagining" their own likenesses (though I'm sure some would love to get a crack at digitally manipulating my countenance!)
That's all I got for now. Hey it's summer, remember?! I was going to head downtown to my first ever Bloomsday reading of Ulysses outside the Rosenbach Museum today, but the event is now moved inside at a nearby church. Not the same experience as hanging outside on Delancey Place in Center City. Oh well...next year perhaps.

Very Interesting...I just learned about Bloomsday from South of Broad by Pat Conroy...One of the characters is a big Ulysses fan...not sure I understand that but still interesting... will you be blogging about removing wall paper?
