I made the trip with Cindy to Chicago. She is attending a conference on digital portfolios sponsored by LiveText.
We walked by Millenium Park last night and I went back on my own today to take some pictures.
The main exhibit featured the a collection of photographs by Uwe Ommer titled “Family Album.”
Ommer has traveled the world to photograph families in context. Four years using nearly every from of transportation imaginable.
Uwe made it to South Dakota.
Learn more about Uwe Ommer at the Family Album Chicago web site.
I wonder if there would be a way to approximate this project virtually. Students from different locations could contribute images of their own families and a descriptive paragraph.
