Things are rocking and rolling around here…two weeks to go in the semester and we all know what that means: crunch time for research papers, power point presentations, and final projects. Everything changes and everything stays the same.
Here is the remainder of the first film interview I did with my father. He and my mom would have been married 66 years in two weeks if she were alive. I love this story he tells and heard it countless times during my lifetime – from both him and my mom. Please forgive the bit of lilting and tilting of my camera. I’m just learning, and I’m going to acquire a tripod soon to address that issue.
I graduated from the University of Georgia in 1972 with a major in journalism (public relations) and a minor in business (marketing). My experience for the last 40 years includes working in the corporate world (banking), the newspaper industry (advertising design and sales), owning and selling a restaurant, restoring and utilizing several old buildings on the property, teaching private dance and drama lessons for 20 years, free-lance writing for a national textile firm, publishing two children’s books, and ghost writing a book. My last tour of duty before beginning the current chapter was working as a reporter, photographer, and columnist for five weekly community newspapers.
And now I teach...media writing at Columbus State University in Columbus Ga. I consider myself very fortunate--I get to be around intelligent, energetic and enthusiastic young people. What a joy.
I believe the written word is one of the most powerful tools known to humankind. And now we have the ability to reach millions with a simple click of the mouse.
Wow.
the moving camera adds a little life. beware of tripods.
Really?…I expected you the expert to tell me to go buy one immediately!…we must speak before I purchase…in class now…later.
it’s later for sure.
