Great video of Lee Friedlander on the road! He laughs out loud!! At himself!!
I have many memories of meetings with Lee. Laughing was not part of the equation. This video goes a long way to changing my understanding of a complicated (in a good way) personality.

Not much new this week
A busy couple of weeks at Wellesley...a couple more to come. Then I hope I can get back to feeling like I have time to work on my stuff. Don't know how colleagues do everything!
I got a copy of the book, The Art of Caring, an exhibit at the New Orleans Museum of Art this year. They used one of my photos which was very nicely reproduced.
However, the essayist wrote very incorrectly that I was a single mother of four boys! I'm not sure if she looked very carefully at the photo or bothered to check her source of information. Did not talk to me!
I did see lots of former students this week, always a pleasure. Yuna, Myna, May, Elaine, Tuyet...

I can't believe....
A faculty meeting devoted to stuffing envelopes with exams for self- scheduled exams....really substantive discussion about honor code and faculty involvement.... Took 25 minutes.

Snow!
In October!!???
White, heavy rain!
Cadie and I went to museums today. Good place on a cold, wet day.
Am using an app called BlogPress to write
from the iPod. Seems to work well. I wonder how I would post photos?
Yes, it can! Dylan and Emiliano leaving the hospital 5 months ago.
Nice app!

More Milo
Milo is learning how to entertain himself and everyone else. Rolling over, picking up toys, vocalizing...and smiling, of course!In this video, Milo makes his "happy and excited" noise!
I'm learning about video very slowly. And youTube. I have an account, but need a tutorial on how to use the site! I'm pretty slow at remembering how to make the blog and the youTube site work together. Oh, well.

From the Globe news today
Polaroid film is coming back
Eighteen months after Polaroid Corp. said it was halting sales of its instant film, one of Massachusetts’ most famous products may be coming back to life.PLR IP Holdings LLC, the investment group that owns the Polaroid brand, has struck a deal that could put Polaroid film back on retailers’ shelves.
PLR, owned in part by Gordon Brothers Group, of Boston, licensed Utah-based Summit Global Group to sell digital cameras under the Polaroid name in June. Now Summit is cleared to resume sales of Polaroid film.
At a news conference held yesterday in Hong Kong, Summit’s managing director, Giovanni Tomaselli, said the film will be manufactured by the Impossible Project, an Austrian company which has acquired the former Polaroid factory in the Netherlands.
According to The Impossible Project’s website, the company will begin with black-and-white film in early 2010 and will offer a color version later in the year.

Catching up on recent visits home
Our Lives, Our Space
Our Lives, Our Space: Views of Women in a Red-Light District
Sculpture Court, Jewett Arts Center
Opening Reception: Thurs., Oct. 22, 3:30pm
Exhibit Dates: Oct. 1-23, 2009
Gallery Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:15am-7pm, Weekends 12-5pm
Exhibition Tours:
Led by one of the photographers and a project researcher
Wed., Oct. 21, 5–6 pm
Thurs., Oct. 22, 4:15-5 pm
Fri., Oct. 23, 12:30-1:30 pm
This photography exhibition is a collection of 40 photographs taken by women in the Yongsan red-light district, Seoul, South Korea, who have worked and lived in the area for as long as 40 years. As part of the urban renewal project, the area is targeted for demolition. These photographs show us how personal histories are written onto the space and architecture of the red light district, and how it is home to these women who have lived on the margins of South Korean society.
Women in prostitution have largely been an invisible part of history and society in South Korea, reduced to mere statistics and stereotypes.Their voices are never heard in the decision-making process of national and local policies that have a direct impact on their lives – such as the 2004 Act for the Prevention of Prostitution and related Acts, and the demolition of red-light districts. This photography project is a way for these women to write their own history.
This exhibition is a part of Envisioning “Global Korea” from the Margins: Gender, Sexuality, and Social Transformation program organized by Wellesley College Womens’ Studies professor Sealing Cheng.
