I grew up in South Dallas between 1974-2001 and I wish that I had some pictures of the real people, stories, additions and pure beauty that transpired there. I wish the Children and Staff at Sight and Sound many blessing toward their projects. Also I will offer FREE original music to any of the film makers who desire music for their pieces.

The students came to Dallas iMedia Network last year for a field trip and to learn some new media skills, and we absolutely fell in love with their work. Hopefully, we can cablecast some of their finished product on iMedia Youth Channel on Time Warner and Verizon Fios. Best wishes to the Sight and Sound students and to Dave Herman, a remarkable young man implementing his dream to bring incredible opportunities for self-expression to our youth - today!

It would most gratifying to see what aspect of this public malaise the students are focussing on in their projects. Several angles come to mind: Social impact of foreclosures, economic impact on the community, focus and impact on individual families, stress on social services and help givers, increased homelessness to a mention a few. As we know, a picture can tell it in a thousand words so a photographic journey through a once popular, thriving neighborhood would tell and document it in a thousand unforgettable ways !! Goodluck to the students and looking forward to the intriguing end products James I think the issues the students have decided to focus on this year, as always ,are very topical, most especially the pervasive issue of abandoned houses which has the potential of further ravaging depressed communities as we’re being bombarded with the ever increasing rate of home foreclosures.

The students are hard at work and your welcome to come back anytime. This Friday we will be conducting a critique of sorts based on the week's work. Rob, thanks for sharing.
