Well, here we are, heading into the big winter season of holidays and end-of-year festivities, as well as end-of-year deadlines. And meanwhile, we are winding down into the last few classes of our intro course. I hope you have mulled over some of our discussion about Stranger with a Camera and gotten a little reading in during your week off. If you have comments about the film or any of the readings (or our class discussion), please post them here.
Please check your syllabus and use the link to find the online WRAL documentary. Watch it before class please! There are several other interesting topics there you might want to check out as well.
I am out of town and will be home late tomorrow. But you can reach me on my cell phone if you need me before then.

Thoughts on Week Two homework
What do you think about how the ideals of introspection and reflexivity play out?
Also post any responses/thoughts to class here. I have to say that I really enjoyed our conversation last night. (If anyone left feeling overwhelmed, let me reassure you by saying that we dove right into topics we usually don't get to for a few weeks!) It's a neat balance -- to be thoughtful without becoming paralyzed (or so self-focused that you're not actually documenting anything but yourself).
Also, the question I was trying to ask when I had a coughing fit was this: the Spike Lee montage we watched the first class attempted to paint a portrait of place through music and photo montage. How did that compare to the audio postcard you listened to last night? What did they have in common and how did they differ?
Thanks!
