Being an artist and a scholar leads to doing many other things.
During my time as manager of the Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I found hidden in storage the audio recordings of five panel discussion events that took place in the auditorium during the Harlem On My Mind exhibition. I was able to get them digitized and made accessible online through the museum's library.
I found film recording of Joel Snyder's lecture at the Photography: Where We Are symposium, Corcoran Museum in DC in February 1978. I got it digitized and its now available online through GWU Gelman Library's Special Collections.
When researching the reason that there's lines between the images on a reel of photo film, I wondered why belts can't sit outside the belt loops on pants. The loops on the pants continually interrupt the patterns that are on the belt.
