Here's some more info on the National Geographic panel: "Making Connections: Photographic Storytellers from Around the World" (see http://auroraforum.org/events.php?id=49)

"The National Geographic Society’s All Roads Film Project recognizes and supports indigenous and underrepresented storytellers from around the world who are documenting their changing cultures and communities through photography and film. We present talented artists from around the world who have been selected by the National Geographic Society to present their work and reflect on ways their images and stories make connections that help create a more just and beautiful world."

The panel includes photographers from Nigeria, Lapland, Kashmir, and Inner Mongolia among others. Oded Balilty from Israel will also be on the panel; he recently won the Pulitzer Prize for his photo of a lone Jewish settler challenging a large group of Israeli security forces.

I'm trying to cook up some special guests and surprises for the photowalk, keep your fingers crossed.

UPDATE:
some folks from one of the robotics lab have agreed to demo an autonomous robot helicopter (not full scale, butshould be pretty interesting) that they're working on...

Potential schedule:

4:00-4:10pm Meet and mingle at center of the Quad in front of Memchu
4:10-4:20pm Tom Seligman talks about Rodin Burgers of Calais and
provides overview of art/architecture on campus
4:20-5:00pm Shooting options around main quad, in memchu, or helicopter
robot (robot arrive around 4:30pm)
5:00-5:45pm Walk over to shoot Cantor Art Center, Seligman talks about
Cantor, Rodin sculpture garden, Stone River, other outside art
5:45-6:20pm: Walk over to shoot Bio-X (really cool building), I'm trying
to find someone at Bio-X to talk about the building and research
projects
6:20-7:05pm: Walk over to New Guinea sculpture garden, order pizza and
eat dinner and shoot at sculpture garden, Seligman can talk
7:05-7:15pm: Walk over to Kresge for National Geographic panel
7:30-9:00pm: National Geographic panel, we're allowed on stage after the
panel to talk with photographers
9:15pm: I can direct folks back to the Oval where most folks will be
parked. Folks can continue to shoot campus at night if they aren't
wiped.

Question ref dinner: I'm thinking that some folks will be interested in
pitching in for pizza, so maybe we can get a count and order along the
way somewhere. Otherwise, there are a few dining options on campus we can point people to. Or we can tell people to pack their own food.
What are your thoughts on this?
