"Place, with a trace of humanity" Photography/Photo of the Day/Pittsburgh

CMU Campus Lights and Shadows at Night

Waiting for Steve to pick me up in the turnaround, I saw the pattern on the concrete.  I had just viewed Waiting for Superman. I was in a good discussion group after the film.  You can read an editorial piece by Tony Norman from the Post-Gazette my friend V told me about. Lots to think about.  There wasn’t much in it that was hopeful or positive, especially when it comes to public education.  In fact , it was downright depressing to me.There are a ton of reviews at Rotten Tomatoes if you want to see the splats, too…. But getting back to the patterns of light and shadow on the sidewalk while I was waiting for Steve….

Shadow patterns on the concrete from the lights at CMU.

Looked like a good target for a spaceship landing.

    Ruth, I graduated from Oliver which was mentioned in the film. I was a classmate of Bill Strickland who is interviewed several times in the movie. Bob and I are going into DC to see it tomorrow. This film has already struck a connection with even before I see it. I know it will hit home hard for me with lots of discussion and thoughts to follow.

    Hi Ruth,

    I am interested in the screening of the Superman documentary. Would you be able to share with me who hosted the event at CMU and where it happened? Thank you.
