Documentary photography...and Mom!
The 'Mom' news first...
All is well. She is sticking to the 1 oz. drink as prescribed, and that's how I put it to her. It is like a doctor's prescription. Anyway, all is well.
My Documentary Photography course in The Big City is very cool. There are about ten other students, from different points of view and differing ideas about what the class and subject means to them. It's all valid, IMHO. Our first project, due next Saturday, is to take pictures of a subject in everyday life and write a small paper to accompany it. I have chosen 'pay telephones' as my focus and spent a lot of the day driving around trying to find the damn things. I am restricting my search to Anywhere County and have covered much of the southern half.
Slim pickin's.
I blame the cellular phone for this dearth of public telephones. Oh, btw, I am only shooting pics of the outdoor variety...If they have been moved indoor, they are out of play. I'll post a few pictures when I have the time, but for now let me say that it has revived my tired-of-my-home-turf-jaded eye and has allowed me to see afresh in my area.
So, by the end of this week I have a paper to finish on Woodrow Wilson, two essays for Credit By Evaluation, and this piece, plus reading, reading, reading...

It's funny that you chose that topic, because I included that in part of my Psych of Adjustment mid-term, dealing with modern technology. Good luck with the hunt; cell phones have largely killed off that classic, the pay phone.
It's good to hear that your mother is doing better, and that the class is so interesting. Your schedule sounds like mine, though the classes are different. Good luck!
