april's eLABorations - your thoughts and impressions?
and so april's eLABorations pave the way for may's eLABorations.
once again, i'd be very interested in your responses to our previous questions:
- which combinations [this month] are more effective or resonant for you? why do you think that is?
- which pieces [this month] are less effective or 'flatter' for you? why do you think that is?
the additional question i have for you this month is about the text. several people commented about the shift in point of view. I would be curious to know how our participants and visitors respond to that change. does it feel like an anomaly? is it too intrusive, or too much of a shift? why or why not? what does the change in 'voice' affect the way you interact with the text/ image?
over the next month or so, there are some plans to change the functionality of the site as some people are finding the commenting process somewhat arduous, and i really do want your comments and thoughts. i will also be begin posting compendiums of the month's images as a way to take a look at overall tone of a particular month.
again, please consider revisiting past pieces and commenting or re-commenting on them. as the collaboration moves forward, it would be good to see if the ongoing narrative impacts how we read past collaborations.
thanks again to all those who continue to view and/or participate.

marching forward...
march's eLABorations are almost finished, and april's eLABorations are just around the corner. we're 25% through this year-long experiment, and there have been some very interesting images submitted this past month, and some surprising echoes/ parallels (something in the air? spring, perhaps?).
once again, i'd be very interested in your responses to our previous questions:
- which combinations [this month] are more effective or resonant for you? why do you think that is?
- which pieces [this month] are less effective or 'flatter' for you? why do you think that is?
further, i would like to hear your thoughts on how you think the text is functioning. there have been several comments about the text component, particularly the framing of the text. what are your thoughts about it? does the frame bother you? why or why not? how do you think the text would function without the frame? does the placement of the text matter to you? let me know what you think.
naturally, i have my own thoughts and plans as to how and why the text is as it is, but i am definitely open to being shifted.
please consider revisiting past pieces and commenting or re-commenting on them. as the collaboration moves forward, it would be good to see if the ongoing narrative impacts how we read past collaborations.
thanks again to those viewing and/or participating.

your thoughts, 2 eLABorations later
and now our second month is almost finished...
i'm very pleased with the quality of the photos our participants have been submitting, and there have been so very interesting combinations. one thing that i have been curious about is whether or not the participants have consciously altered or chosen their images based on the first month's pieces, and whether their choices are being affected as we move forward? if so, how? are you anticipating a particular placement or tone for the text?
once again, i'd be very interested in your responses to our previous questions:
- which combinations are more effective or resonant for you? why do you think that is?
- which pieces don't work for you? why do you think that is?

your thoughts so far? care to eLABorate?
we're almost finished our first month of this experiment, and i'd be interested in finding out what your reactions and responses are thus far, whether observer or participant. tell me your thoughts, and feel free to make suggestions as to what we might adjust. there are definitely pieces where the combination of text and image is more evocative, and sometimes the combination is more expected. luckily, we have a lot more time to explore these. you may have other questions or concerns, but here are some initial questions:
i've enjoyed the commentary so far, and hope you will continue to drop by and look, and discuss, and invite others to as well. i've already received a number of submissions for february, and am looking forward to how things shift and change (or not).
- which combinations are more effective or resonant for you? why do you think that is?
- which pieces don't work for you? why do you think that is?
- i tried to post a piece every 2-4 days -- is that too frequent?
- should i continue to post them one at a time? two at a time? three at a time?
