What did we look like on day 1?

The pre-event for JAWS was a multimedia bootcamp led by Janice Castro professor in new media, photojournalism, magazine development and media management at Northwestern
University’s Medill School of Journalism.

Unfortunately, after promising camp organizers that there would be enough bandwidth for a conference of journalists, the Stone Harbor Resort had to send in technical help. This guy wasn't much help, he mostly stood around.




Not being able to get on line changed the program a bit but everyone was given an assignment and asked to cover the rest of camp with video cameras, digital recorders and running commentary.


Everyone was anxious to eat dinner, but patiently stood in line for the grub.


Okay, so I have gotten this far and it is taking forever. This blogging software is not as intuitive and I would like. Each time I try to insert a photo at the bottom, it pops up at the top. I have finally had to resort to editing the html code. So I guess I need some consultation with Fish.

Here are a few more photos from the evening events.

Nobody dares go over the time limit. "Introduce myself in 10 seconds? Ouch! Even incoming President Dawn Garcia doesn't escape Lynn's watch!
