Untitled 7

Abstract

Nick_Schietromo___NEiA_Student__Untitled_7_February_18__2014_at_1038AMThese images were created as part of the Hughes Remix project, a collaborative endeavor developed by UMBC's Albin O. Kuhn Library Special Collections and the Department of Visual Art to foster creative engagement with archival holdings in conjunction with the 2014 Society for Photographic Education annual conference. UMBC's Special Collections offered a selection of images from the Hughes Company Glass Negatives (http://contentdm.ad.umbc.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/hughes) collection for SPE members and conference attendees to remix, reinvent, reinterpret, and reimagine the images in this collection of Baltimore street scenes, promotional and advertising photographs, businesses, churches, schools, monuments, factories, machinery, and portraits. Images that were created were displayed during the conference as well as on a Tumblr site and are now archived in the Special Collections.
