new project

I'm working on Shannon's website.  We are adding a new page, but haven't picked a title yet.  The project will take us on a journey across the U.S. in a tiny vintage trailer (photos to come).  There will be original music compositions, photographs, & personal narrative video interviews; stories from women who have inspired us.  Digital storytelling has been on my mind for over a year now, but illness and other life stuff got in the way.  Here are some photos that I picked out to help you visualize what we are about to embark on.

  1. Wow, what an amazing premise for a roadtrip. What exactly do you mean by digital storytelling? I'm really interested in these things - I used women's personal narratives in my masters thesis. Look forward to following your journey!

  2. thanks Deborah, your thesis sounds fascinating.

    I think this expresses it perfectly--

    British photographer, educator and digital storyteller, Daniel Meadows defines digital stories as "short, personal multimedia tales told from the heart."
