Grand Rapids Photographer’s “Detroit Portraits” Cast Positive Light

briankellyphoto:

My Kickstarter project is now live! May I ask you to take a look at “Detroit Portraits” and consider supporting me? I’m not asking for “donations” per se because I give something really cool back to you based on your support level. Just think of it as shopping :)

I’ve never considered Detroit as an “Urban Prairie” before.

I might go for a “Suburban Prairie” though.

kickstarter:

Wildflowers of Detroit, a community technology project for cataloging wild plants growing in Detroit.

For the duration of their project, the technology collaborative WinterRoot will be featuring different plants that are common to the Detroit urban prairie. From their first update, chicory: “Though this naturalized plant of European origin is common throughout North America, it’s penchant for filling Detroit’s once empty fields with an explosion of sky-blue is something to behold. ”

Indeed!

Can DIY Movement Fix a Crisis in U.S. Science Education?

We’re attending Maker Faire Detroit on July 30 - 31, 2011.

Don’t know what a Maker Faire is? Watch Miles O’Brien report on a growing movement that embraces the art of making cool things and a quirky do-it-yourself spirit. Supporters see “making” as one way to overcome a crisis in American science and math education.
