For my New Media Career Skills course, we have an opportunity to do a very open-ended project. After going back and forth, running with one concept for a while and then abandoning it, I’ve decided to do a motion-interaction fusion project to do some education about Kibera.
Quick summary: Kibera is a slum in Nairobi, Kenya. It is the largest slum in Africa – one million people in an area 2/3 the size of Central Park.
When I was in Kenya this summer, we taught for two days at St. Sicilia’s, a school on the edge of Kibera…
I’m going to Indianapolis tonight, but I’m going to be writing, researching… I need to get ideas nailed down, get a script scratched out. More next week.

Have to shoot some photos for QTVR, and I’m choosing to focus on lighting, time, and depth, things that are sometimes neglected in my photography.
So I went out last night and bought a tripod for my camera. It had been raining, so everything was wet and reflecting light, so I set up my camera on the tripod there in the parking lot, and started playing around, taking photos of cruising around in a shopping cart among other things.
On my way back, passed a closed gas station, and thought, Hey, I could probably take something interesting here. So I left my headlights on, pointed towards the gas pump, and was setting up a shot when a police car pulled up to see what on earth I was doing there at midnight. Everything was fine, but the policemen preferred that I move along, as it was late and there had been problems in the area lately. So a bit bummed about not getting that shot.
