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!

Audio Docs

Go to bigshed.org and pick out a piece (or two) to listen to. Bring any questions you have about podcasting for Jennifer next week.

Also check out one of last year's winning entries from the 3rd Coast Audio Festival competition. http://thirdcoastfestival.org/annual_competitions_2007_winners.asp
