Characters are a means of visual communication and recording a language. Civilizations throughout the world have created various characters that convey their culture and history. This project focuses purely on the form of the characters rather than their meaning.

This is a new chicken coop that my language partner just built. He asked me to take pictures of it so that he could send them to the person who helped finance this project.
For the moment his chickens are too small to have the run of the place so he is keeping them penned in one corner and heats them at night with a light which hangs from the ceiling.
Some comedy might come from tragedy plus time, but where laughter isn't fitting, a low and cool joy can bury out the sadness. Some day, some long road away, this was the worst of any dream come true. Now, it's the workings of stonemasons and gravediggers, and what's left of little bones. Every single one from the body of Marion Mills, and those that make me aware I'm here. Tiny hammers in my ears, picking up vibrations from a hundred grasshoppers, and the limbs of weeds all rasping together. The clatter of callous language. This cemetery is abandoned, new shoots of alders all over, and no mowing this summer. I sit with the daughter of Clarence and Josephine a while, clear enough brush to see what was. 15 minutes for 15 months living, I'm sure I can spare the time. You've been waiting here, just marking the years, all 125 of them.

February 22, 2008 - Rachel and Liz went to Montserrat and Claudia had class all day, so I went to the Picasso Museum, had lunch in the sunshine near the port, then took a long walk along the beach. I had coffee in the Parc de la Ciutadella, then spent hours on a crazy adventure to find a corkscrew for Claudia (above).
The locality, which had had several different Irish-language names, was first referred to as Cove ("The Cove of Cork") in 1750. It was renamed Queenstown in 1849 to commemorate a visit by Queen Victoria and so remained until the name Cobh was restored in 1922 with the foundation of the Irish Free State. It was spelt Cobh instead of the original Cove as a way of "gaelicising" an English placename, as many Irish placenames had been anglicised by English settlers.

Fresno has a substantial ethnic population from around the world. Here is an auto repair shop with a sign written in Cambodian, a.k.a. Khmer.
A sign of the Government Code stating English is the official language of Guam. Photo taken by Rene Mahone in the 1970s and courtesy of the Micronesian Area Research Center (MARC).
This picture is of the foreign language laboratory at the Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire, ca. 1970. Before the computer age, language students had to contend with large tape players, microphones, and headphones to record or listen to the language being learned. This photograph was taken during the time that the foreign language department was housed in a building at the center of campus, part of which had been the heating plant in the earlier days of the school.
Ever since the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire opened its doors in 1916 as the Eau Claire State Normal School, technology has played an important role in the education of generations of students. This album illustrates how technology has changed, from typewriters to computers, from records to reel-to-reel tape, and everything in between.
