The traveling photojournalism exhibit
It
has been a full year since we became involved in the
Catholic Charities American Poverty photojournalism
project. It has been a rewarding and challenging year
and now a certain rhythm takes place as the exhibit
crisscrosses the United States. This coming week the
exhibit presents itself in Nashville, Tennessee. The
map above demonstrates where the exhibit has traveled
(in red) and where it is yet to travel (in blue).
Additional cites might still be added and no final
confirmation yet if the final exhibit will take place
at the White House.
Steve Liss is the Project Director and will travel to
each city immediately prior to the exhibit reception
and artfully and tastefully documents the slices of
poverty unique to each community. Our job becomes
image preparation (printing, mounting and packaging)
all of the images for each exhibit and delivering
them directly to the exhibit venue. Usually there
isn't a single day to spare and thankfully UPS has
delivered each and every package on time and in
perfect condition. Ideally there would be a larger
buffer of time for production, but then, what would
be the challenge in that?
It is a challenge and from every challenge you hope
you learn and improve from the experience. The
official web
site is worth a visit. It is very well
done.
