Ways of Knowing?

I have been very psyched about Dr. Fujimura coming to speak about production of knowledge. I was hoping for some theory of knowledge acquisition type stuff, instead I received information on the danger/necessity of using race as a factor in determining things.

I brought my camera so I wandered around the Spring Creek campus and shot a bunch of weird architectural video. When I got home I captured about 40 minutes worth of footage for the past few weeks including:

- Day at the park with Mary and Adrien (friend visiting from Paris)
- Late night at Sonic with Nick
- Last night's snow... instead of history class
- Spring Creek campus

Here is a non color-corrected frame grab of Mary from the Day at the park. I'm cramped for time here between homework, reading, pleasure reading, writing and shooting my movie before next Friday, things inbetween, and writing my script. (did I write that already?)


And most importantly, as I am walking out of the Central Park CCCC campus in McKinney, I see groups for each of the main presidential candidates with their childish signs and banners. Three black women at the Obama stand, two manly (stupid jock looking) white males at the McCain stand, and three fancily dressed white women with Hilary hair at the the Clinton stand. I walk past them and think about how great demographics are.
