Writing with Light

MoPA is proud to present the youth exhibition entitled Writing with Light, on view from September 13 to February 1, 2009. The exhibition will illustrate the connection between photography and literacy. Using the photographic arts as inspiration, students will interpret literary works of fact and fiction.

Inspired by the exhibition, A Literacy of Images: Nancy Newhall & the Art of Photography, which will be on view concurrently, the exhibition will provide students an opportunity for expression through both a visual and narrative connection by linking the subject of photography with writing. Collected from various schools in San Diego County, a jury of museum staff and field professionals will select the final photographs to be exhibited in September 2008.  The exhibition will hang alongside A Literacy of Images: Nancy Newhall & the Art of Photography and will bring together the significance of viewing photography fundamentally through the written word, while offering a new way of perceiving the medium.

Commenting is not available in this section entry.

New Old Friends

I've recently become close with Abe and Frank, two older guys in my neighborhood. At 90 and 88 respectively, they’re not the typical age of my other friends. At first I wasn’t sure if it was friendship. Maybe they were just humoring me or passing the time. Why would old people want to be friends with me, a 35-year-old?
