INFO ON OTHERS ISH

I heard a couple of peoples project in class today. Most of them seemed as though not alot of thought was put into them. Like meagans she look like she put to much thought into hers so that was like the best one. Mine, probably is thirty times worse than anyone elses.

WHAT'S GOOD AND WHAT'S BAD

What did I accomplish today? Well, I managed to do five of my sitations from my webliography for the project today in class. Still got five more to go so better get crackin. I think i used the Carnegie Library and Museum of Art. Then some state departments website that shows the historical markers in Allegheny county. I'm starting to get a little confused about what exactly my project was originally on, even though I just really decided like last week. I might want to change it, because I'm getting lost on how to approach doing it. sigh, problems, problems, problems .................................................................................................................................................................................................

Annotation & "One-Shot"

I finally turned in my sample annotation. So now ill start searching for other sites to use as references. I think i could did better on the sample but i ll do better on the real version. I used the Carnegie site that had an archive of photo's taken by Teenie "one-shot" Harris and others. THis is like the third time i ran into his name. My mentor originally told me about, then i was Mrs. Moye's class (the day i couldn't go on my internship) and she was talking about him to her students in photography class. So either someones tryin to tell me something about him or his work is going to be very useful to me in the future.

NEW LIGHT

With the help of my teacher, Mrs. Fossum, I have found a basis for my Grad Porject.

Now the goal of my project is too eventually propose that not only more of the African-American History from the Pittsburgh area be added to the school history curriculum. I would like this to happen because you can’t just tell someone a building was important, you have to tell them why. Like for instance, The National Negro Opera House was the First permanent African-American Opera company in the Area if not the entire United States. I would use this opportunity to find ways to gain support for the YPA’s preservation and restoration efforts as a continuation of my internship.

The end product of my project will be a video. The video will contain interviews (with people who where there to see these sites in their glory days), actual footage of the sites (I might also try to get older footage of the sites), elaboration on the sites significance, and an update on the current status of the site.

WEEKLY LOG #1

I still don't know what this project is going to be on. But I think I have a better idea. Since i have a internship with the YPA (Young Preservationist of Pittsburgh) I think I could use that to base my project on.
