Saving History

September 22nd, 2009

Interested in documenting a historic part of Baltimore that is seemingly going to be destroyed and the heritage will be lost. He wishes to document it.

Critique:
Lizzy Brooks: Primary research is a great aspect of it. But might need a writer to help consolidate all the newspaper clippings into a narrative of the street.

Miranda Lichtenstein: Location of the articles and placements of the photos makes it look like a newsroom.

  • How are you going to present it?

Timothy Druckrey: Think of how to show it, and in how many ways to show it. Just decide on the audience.

  • He wants to show a historical documentation of the destruction of an American city. Taking the photos of the buildings and the news articles might just not be enough.
  • The important thing is just in the presentation.
