what are some of the narrative interests you see in these pictures? do you find any consistent narrative, social, architectural, or formal concerns here? if you had to narrow this archive down to three key images, could you do that? if so, could you write about the significance of each of the three images?
a pretty slow run today as it was my first time out in two weeks after the half-marathon. Just handed in the qualifying exam to my committee 1 week ago
Well it’s been some time since I’ve updated my blog. The spring was a very busy time as I had to write my PhD qualifying exam which was a very challenging. Here are some photographs from Champaign-Urbana, IL and Chicago, IL. March 2012 in Urbana, IL My street in the Historic East Urbana neighborhood. A [...]
Over the past several days I have been reflecting on my progress in Joseph Squier’s Writing with Video course. The class is one of my favorites at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as it promotes daily engagement with creativity alongside the video-making research process.

Without consent from the photographer the image should not be downloaded and especially should not be posted without a photo credit.
