Ok, so I just checked in on the diabetes made visible pool. 26 members, 87 photos. That's almost 100 more images of diabetes in the world, thanks to the pool. Diabetes is a tiny, tiny bit more visible now. Each photo is compelling on it's own, but what's cool is what's starting to happen collectively. Maybe when there are a few more, we can make a qoop poster of some of the images. I've made one before and they're fabulous.
And speaking of fabulous, how great is this photo from scott? It just made me laugh. This is something only a fellow diabetic would notice. Very funny.
I am really getting into this DMV (how ironic is that?) pool. So much so, that I'm even going to start keeping my camera with me more often!
I think a big poster after a while would be so tangible. I really think that sounds like a very powerful idea. I would love to do something like that.
Glad you got a kick out of my picture!
:-)

I love the pool! Great idea. I've got some pics to upload, too, just have to find my camera....
And thanks, also, for such a great way to share the images of our lives with D.

We could also make a Tabblo (http://www.tabblo.com/) out of the pictures. I did this for my diabetes bike ride.
What I don't know is whether a group tableau is possible. Plus Tabblo provides the ability to print things as pictures or books!
Disclosure: a former colleague of mine works for Tabblo.

Wow, I really need to start taking some pictures. I think I have a lot I can share, if I just start taking pictures! This is really cool!
