Symposium and photo contest on Digital Media (due date Oct 18)

Alan Levine, aka CDB Barkley, announces that as part of a twelve day symposium on "the impact of digital media" being sponsored by the NMC Campus, they are holding a photo contest on the contest theme.  According to the contest rules, images "must capture in still photography the power of digital media, or
some impact of digital media, on individuals, groups, society". The photos must address  the
conference themes:

• Identity and self-image
• Credibility and the reliability of Information
• Civic and social involvement
• The arts, creativity, and design
• Social networking
• Pedagogical potentials and implications

I think I will take a picture of myself to assess the reliability of my civic involvement in the arts in order to use social networking tools for pedagogical purposes.  Plus I will have a really cool hat on.
