"Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man." -- Heidegger

I feel so used
In case you haven't seen this UI Foundation document about the Workshop, it's got some mouthwatering artists' conceptions of the Dey House renovation and the Glenn Shaeffer Library -- with some eye-popping dollar amounts (and fairly purple prose ... since when is the Iowa River "breathtaking"? When dead fish are rotting on its shores?). It also shows some pretty darned familiar faces in the "in-class" photos. I don't remember signing a release ... though I dimly recall a photographer setting up some stuff one day. (See the top of page 8 for a priceless shot of The Plunge stifling a yawn.)

Hey, at least they didn't use the nudes.
Used? I don't feel used enough. Apparently, they didn't need my photo to raise the big bucks. Or maybe they needed it NOT to be in there in order to raise the big bucks.
Why they chose to include a picture of Kim teaching me to read is beyond me. They just lost our three bucks.
I love how it showcases the program's racial and ethnic diversity.
Actually, given how these things are usually put together, I'm surprised Sugi and Asali and Roderic didn't make the cover. With SER thrown in for good measure.
Sorry, for the cynicism -- I've worked too long in advertising, where we have to use the Variety-Pak (tm) photo on every brochure cover: one white, one black, one Asian, and one brownish person of nebulous ethnic origin.
