Hawaii Pacific University Modern Media Systems class on the Fort Street Mall in Downtown Honolulu. Question of the day: how can a collaboration that includes Carnegie Mellon University, NASA, GOOGLE, National Geographic, and faculty and students at Hawaii Pacific University expand our understanding of modern media systems? In other words, what emerging, unique potentials are being leveraged by these institutions and their communities in our network of networks project? In part this image constitutes an exploration and manifestation of image-making technologies that provide opportunities for meta-connectivity and global community building. A compelling aspect of the global connection project is its attention to transparency. Transparency of technology, transparency of process, and drill down ability in the composite image itself.. |

Completed in 1927, this Roman Catholic church has been recently restored for the 150th anniversary of its founding. I grew up in this town and this beautiful church is where I was baptized, confirmed and married. The stained glass windows, over 50 of them, portray scenes from the Old and New Testament of the Bible and are often used to illustrate the subjects of the sermons during Mass. The only lighting in this photo is from the sunlight coming through the windows. The German company, Franz Mayer of Munich was the designer and builder of the windows. |

www.stpeteruponthewater.org The 170-acre site on Indian Creek, a tributary of the Guadalupe River, was purchased by the archdiocese from the Armstrong family through a generous donation by Beverly Pevehouse of Midland and Kerrville. The property included a hunting lodge, which has since been remodeled into a 1,000-square-foot residence for Msgr. Boulette. On the hill to the left is the new Archbishop’s Cottage and on the right is the first new Quiet House. The Quiet Houses will be used for individual retreats. Both structures were designed by Fisher*Heck Architects with Zuber Construction as general contractor. |

360 deg panorama in the centre of what used to be the property of St. John the Divine Anglican convent. Sold to a developer to be redeveloped for individual homes, developer changed plans and planned to build a 7 story condominium. The Catholic school board expropriated the property and plans to build a K-8 school. In early 2008 all property buildings were demolished. As of this writing, May 2009, Google satellite maps still shows the convent. Note that the line of trees to the east of the camera (to the right of the fire hydrant) were the original trees alongside the road that led from the main street (Yonge Street) to the original farmhouse (sadly demolished as well) |
