Photo work is my jam, and in this post-analogue camera and darkroom iteration that can mean a lot of things.
Writing is also my jam, and more and more it seems. This is bad timing because my inclination to write grows at about the same pace as the world's inclination to read wanes. A lot of my writing is posted here, and is kind of organized into themes that you can select for a particular sub-set of topics. I use a blog format, which is a compromise. It allows me to tag the topic of each piece, but it stacks entries chronologically, going backwards. As I say, a compromise.
For a time, through my museum work, I had the supreme pleasure of working with an editor on long-form essays - talk about a treat - and those pieces can be read here (about hand-writing), here (about my love of chairs and how they are perfect for STEAM teaching and learning), and here (about Zines for Progress, the high school program I led for six years); each of them addresses some aspect of my museum education work. These days, I find myself left to my own devices, without that editor's eye for concision - for which I apologize.
I've recently taken a surprising turn and have gotten to data visualization. I call the pieces I make data ditties, and you can find them here. For now, I'm simply chronicling my experimentation, along with my thoughts on how this kind of stuff can be used in student engagement aimed at linking media literacy and STEAM learning with design and visual storytelling.
Some of my photo projects are in the Galleries. Some are intended as zines/books, or have already ended up that way.
So, that's pretty much what I'm up to. I'd love to hear what you think.
