Special Projects

My husband and I collaborated on many photographic ventures in order to give slide lectures to our students. Among these lectures were the following:

1) thirty-five well-known American authors, most in their own homes–among them, Ernest Hemingway, Carl Sandburg, Katherine Anne Porter, Norman Mailer, William Styron, W. H. Auden, James Baldwin, May Sarton, and others.

2) landscapes and homes of American authors, East, South, and West,

3) landscapes connected with English authors in England

4) landscapes on the continent concentrating on  Romantic literature–Shelley, Keats, and Byron in Italy, Switzerland, and Missolonghi, Greece (where Byron died),

5) Greek and Hellenistic theaters in Greece and Turkey,

6) Crusader and Armenian Castles in the Middle East, which we climbed,

7) Israel and biblical sites.

8) and of course, the countries we lived or traveled: Turkey, German, Israel, and Chile.

Our collection consists of thousands of slides, which we showed many times to classes and other audiences in Oneonta, other cities and campuses in America, and abroad. The one most frequently shown has been the one on authors, which I have showed twice most recently in Oneonta and once at the Adirondack Community College in 2005. Manson Williams Proctor Museum in Utica has now inquired about them.

9) a slide lecture of my collection of Great Art Illustrating the Bible (given in classes and also to local groups)(collected at various museums in Europe and America)

10) I also made two 16mm. movies of the SUNY Programs in Germany (1969-1970) and in Israel (1971-1972), while I was the Director of those programs.
