Breaking down walls by building one up

September 25, 2009 By: Heather Billings Category: Adventures in Phoenix, Multimedia

This 3/4 replica of the Vietnam Wall was only in Phoenix for an extended weekend before it moved on to Houston, Texas. Rebekah Zemansky and I went to visit it Saturday, August 19 before heading out to shoot assignments for our journalism boot camp class.

It turned out to be a pretty amazing thing to photograph, although I will make a suggestion to others with this opportunity: Do not plan on spending an hour at a reflective, black wall surrounded by a black rubber walkway at midday in the sun when the temperature hovers around 104. One lovely lady (the one with the flag umbrella in the following slideshow) had her son buy me a bottle of water because I looked so flushed.

Rebekah suggested we get some interviews, and I went along for the hell of it. I learned that two years of experience at my college paper has given me a rather handy formulaic way to approach people for interviews, but it doesn’t make me any more comfortable with the thought. However, we managed some really nice interviews. Both Daniel Pratt and Warren Seiz were great to interview and gave us some good information as well as insight. Part of what I love about being a journalist is being able to talk to people who have stories that you can’t possibly imagine. Being a soldier is a prime example of such a story.

This is my cut of our project. I will admit to loading it with more of my own photos than Bekah’s, simply because I felt like my blog should probably showcase my own work. Also, she’s hoping to get our collaborative cut picked up by an outside media source.

While this is a bit more extensive than most of my posts will be, this is generally the kind of thing I hope to continue presenting here.

  4. Very few studies have been done so far on whether acupuncture has the ability to help with the fertility of men. Of course, there is some evidence that has come up that suggest that acupuncture and fertility of men can be linked together. The best part about it is that acupuncture could actually increase the amount of fertility in a man without causing them to have any kind of behavioral side affects or causing increased sexual desire. Doctors do think that acupuncture does lead to an increase in the number of sperm count found in the body. They also said that this could even help improve very slight structural defects. So why doesn’t everyone jump on board this acupuncture band wagon? Why aren’t all lower sperm count men out there looking into this? This has something to do with the other methods that are out there.
