Joan as Police Woman - Witness
We are privileged to have a deaf and American Sign Language community at Castle View High School. I found this video for the deaf and hard of hearing, and just had to share it. Perhaps this would be an interesting project for students taking both ASL and photography? How do you visually represent language in photography and other mediums?

Who are you? - Portrait of a photographer
"...the desire to focus only on the person itself, beyond the surface, to really ask myself: Who is this person?"

CLOUD: An Interactive Sculpture Made from 6,000 Light Bulbs
CLOUD is a large-scale interactive sculpture created from 6,000 light bulbs (new and burnt out) by Canadian artists Caitlind r.c. Brown & Wayne Garrett. The piece utilizes everyday domestic light bulbs and pull strings, re-imagining their potential to create wonder and inspire collaboration. As part of the process of creating the sculpture, the artists collected burnt out incandescent light bulbs from the surrounding community, forging an informal relationship with non-artists, reducing costs, and asking audiences to reconsider household items in an alternative context. During exhibition, viewers interact with CLOUD by initiating impromptu collaborations, working as a collective to turn the entire sculpture on and off.
How CLOUD works: The hand-bent steel substructure of the sculpture is covered in a skin of incandescent light bulbs (new and burnt out), and rear-lit from within by 250 compact fluorescent bulbs, pulling a total power of approximately 20 amps (the equivalent of two household outlets). Each of these bulbs is attached to a pull-string, allowing viewers to control the illumination of the structure – like lightning in the CLOUD above them.

Fashionable Neanderthals?
Check out NPR's article: Study Neanderthals Wore Jewelry and Makeup
From the article: (Neanderthals) "only need to do that (wear jewelry) in a world where you have a complex network of relations, because if you only interact with your family or people you've known all your life, they know who you are, you don't need to use an identity card."
The role that jewelry has played throughout humanity is long and diverse. This article just adds more to what we already know, and gives an even more complex look at the lives of Neanderthals.
