Thing 6 and 7

Thing 7

I really had fun with this activity. I tried making a puzzle from the lower ninth ward photo but the image was faded, so I just created a postcard. The image that I choose with the Industrial Canal Bridge in the background is one that is etched into my brain since childhood. I had the privilege of seeing barges and ocean liners travel up and down the Mississippi River and through the Industrial Canal throughout my youth. Unfortunately, I also had the misfortune of seeing the devastation after the storm. The numbers in the photo is the address of my parent's home, which should be rebuilt by December 2008.

Thing 6

I was so intrigue with this Thing 6, that I also created a magazine cover of my 16 month old granddaughter and e-mailed it to my daughter. As the only grandchild, she has me wrapped around her little fingers. I can't wait to make more magazine covers as she grows!

Thing 5 - Moving Slow

It was very exciting to view the photos on the Flickr site. Such a large accumulation of pictures can enhance slide shows and flip charts, making them more interesting. I am concerned about the number of photographs that are not protected and would prefer that the users use the privacy settings when posting personal photographs.
