Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Produce a traveling photo exhibition and companion programming. Traveling exhibit and companion programming will be utilized and displayed by a variety of schools, businesses and events to help educate the public about sustainable farming practices in Minnesota. 2: Replace outdated photography editing equipment and learn new software able to handle volume of work. The new equipment will allow me to organize, archive and access the volumes of this photo work to better produce cohesive exhibits, a portfolio and continuance of the photo documentary.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Exposure of the exhibition to a wide and diverse audience was achieved. Exhibitions were well attended. 2: I am able to produce a good portfolio and respond to calls for images in a timely manner. The new arrangement allows cataloging which gives provides the ability to access images I could not locate before, and more efficiently. The images are also categorized and organized in such a way to more easily access.
