Pictures worth a thousand words
BY JENIECE TORANZO, MESA, USA - Today, a few of the crew members had the chance to go to Phoenix College for the Annual Convocation of the Maricopa Community Colleges to present some of the Zambia footage and talk about the projects with interested Maricopa faculty and administrators. Everyone seemed impressed and interested on what we had to say and the experience we went through. There was a nice display of the clothing, jewlery, and other related objects from Zambia with footage from the documentary, feature film, Kabwata Cultural Village and storytellers playing on the projector. It was a nice warm feeling and joy to see the footage again. The night before, I was helping Cyndi put the presentation together and we watched the footage for the first time in several weeks. We both felt joy and started talking about wanting to go back again. It just brought back so many good memories. It was a good thing that she decided to put it together the night before because it wasn't as easy and quick, like we thought it would be, to put the projector together and and get it properly connected to the computer. We would've looked like idiots if we didn't. Good lookin' out huh? Oh yeah.
Here is something that is interesting to me for those who don't know. About once a week and at the end of the year, MSN likes to post "Week in Pictures" or "Year in Pictures." They have different styles of pictures and categories, but each one very unique and amazing in both color and composition. I love looking through the different pictures for inspiration or just to be educated on different events that have happened around the world that people may not know about. Wait. I take that back. I should, can and will only speak for myself...they are some things or current envents that I don't know about due to me being too busy or whatever. Next to each picture that is displayed, there is a brief description and explanation of what was captured. I think that Mike Montesa would be really good at doing this line of work since he loves photography. Overall, I think that each picture is captured beautifully. It's amaaaazing......for sure.
Here is the link. You can look at other past archives. Just click on the different links and go. MSNBC Photos. Enjoy!
P.S. Warning! Some of the images may be offensive or disturbing because after all.... it is real life events that were captured.
