For this first finds assignment, I created a picture of myself as a nostalgic, home town girl, who is very much connected to school and academic work. My finds center around ways in which my memories connect to my academic work. Although there are not many images that make this connection explicit, the juxtaposition of personal images from the past and present show a focus both on history and on academic work.
Lauren and me
Lauren and me hanging out by Alkatraz, playing with the sea lions. I didn't really know Lauren before I showed up in San Francisco, and I was a bit worried about spending a week with her in what turned out to be very close quarters. Thankfully, my reservations were for naught, and the conference provided an opportunity for both of us to become both friends and collaborators.
