looks like workshops are limited to two people 😞 would you and patcon want to submit the training workshop?
Hey. Let’s chat about this? If we are to prioritize time, I would prioritize getting grant money for facilitation and going to Taiwan. Also getting Liz’s article out!! 🙂

Magnum Foundation: expanding creativity and diversity in documentary photography.

itsmisscs 08:42:30
> Magnum Foundation was founded in 2007, in the midst of the collapse of the media system that had traditionally supported photographic reporting. Founded by the photographers of the Magnum Photos collective including board president Susan Meiselas, the organization was conceived as an initiative to support independent, long-form visual storytelling on social issues.

getting super excited to put together @lizbarry’s article as an exercise in creative/immersive storytelling on web
Oh! Like immersive in which ways? Could we 3d model some of the spaces involved maybe?? Like the stakeholder meeting room?

Just trying to think how we could tie some of this to #holopolis projects...? dunno...!

EDIT: oh, nm. realized the thing that sparked your comment was about photography
@patcon i think immersive was probably not the word, more like mixed media
videos, photography, animations, think more nyt photojournalism style
