12: Beethoven - 1825
Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart
(A Convalescent's Holy Song of Thanksgiving to the Divinity)
This is in the Lydian Mode. I wish I paid more attention in Theory class all those years ago, so I could recognize what that is in other works.
Beethoven wrote this shortly after recovering from a deadly illness. My brother, Stephen, suggested I listen to this piece, and (as always) I am so glad that I did.
If hope and peace breathed, I think it would sound like this
11: Will Yurman-2010
"The answer to the why question gives your audience a reason to care."
This photojournalist / professor gave me the worst grade I've gotten since Pre-Calc and Trig back in 11th grade.
This important quote is the last sentence in the email I received about my first interviews for my Multimedia for Photojournalists class. He is absolutely right. This whole quarter all my professors have spoken time and time again on question of "Why Should We Care" about this project or that person. Being able to answer that question for every topic proposal, every interview, every photograph is pivotal. Only after we photojournalists give the viewer an understanding of why we care and why a person lives a certain way can he respond to the stories we are telling them.
10: Lisa Wiltse - 2010
her use of the frame is exactly what we've been talking about in class
her portraits and moments make projects that have the same urgent feeling of truth that I would like to see happen within my own future projects
9: PostSecret - 2010
I just think this is great and whenever I stumble
across notes like these, I thank God....
not just for the person who wrote it but also
for the person who dropped it here for me to find
