to live and there are not many places where they can i guess find to live in low income places and another concern is the amount of time it will take to redevelop they're going to need it's estimated that it's going to take two hundred million dollars and i'm worried about how it's going to take how much they're going to earn or be able to receive this money and my third working with picked up different skills using the camera and interviewing people i've learned how to place my camera set up the people for an interview set up my questions and pick out the patients and i see i can see myself using these technical skills for future for future plans like this they used to have a street car going down the hill that here when i was a look ahead i used to beat the street car coming up the sale and the street car was being pulled by horses and then the changes came street cars were being paul by electricity when i was here i was eleven years all yes on terrorists w  seattle housing authority goes through six years or more of trying to figure out a proposal for how to generate enough money to replace the housing build better parks build better streets build better sidewalks in order to achieve those things they need to come to the city and ask the city for different ways to build buildings different heights different ways that the building connects with the street the sidewalk  different approaches to parks probably some swaps and how some of the property there works so we get the proposal from them and we go out to the community and we truth test we try to talk to people and say ok here's what's you know housing authority proposes to do here's how they envision making a great community over the next twenty years for people who come after us how much of this rings true seattle housing authority is clear and on the record that if someone wants to move back they are guaranteed the ability to move back what we learned at high points at rainer vista you holly not every family wants to move back and so you also don't want to require people to have to come back everybody should have the freedom to make a choice about where they can build their best life then any what will be the livability of the neighborhood and i think the most important thing is dialogue going to direct dialogue and engagement to talk about what people's priorities are and what they would like to see for the future yes for the future is a little bit difficult because if you're living there right now you really care about the way yesler functions for you and your family you also have to think in the future to think ok if he does get redone how would i like it to work for me and my family and how do i think thirty years out for when me and my family are no longer here and it has to function well for a whole different group of people who i don't know i don't know where they come from i don't know what their needs might be but how do i make my best effort to guess at how to make a great community for needs to vote we're going to be voting on a president we're going to be voting on a state governor senators representatives also be going to be voting on public schools on

didn't work for the networks you never get your work shown well things have changed and thank goodness because now we can hear from all kinds of different voices who can get videos made and have been shown to the world now just because you can create a video doesn't mean it's going to be any good and just because you take your video and put it up on the web doesn't mean anybody's going to watch it so m m r t i is offering all kinds of resources in order for you to make the best possible video you can and get the most people to watch it one thing we're doing is offering free classes on video

and twitter in order to promote your videos you learn about sites like kickstarter which allows you to raise money to create your product and you'll learn about things like cheap advertising using google ad words or project wonderful so all these ways of getting your what the word out about the creation that you've done so whether you're a nonprofit who's trying to reach some part of the community that's always been hard to reach and you want to do it through video or you're just somebody who's a citizen of seattle and you want to be able to create it tell your story and then marty i

getting people to watch them all right thank you for watching and  know i mean it comes to yes i asked him if he knew some ethiopian artist he knew quite a few and actually i met him through another friend of mine but long story short we had an exhibit here at the gallery it was a very very big success we had quite a few well bring her to the gallery let me see her work and so she brought her work i looked at her work it was fantastic really really enjoyed the work i saw something different in the works that i've seen before by ethiopian artists learn a little bit about her background and  about our work to me that her use of shape and design in composition is refreshing to see her do the type of work she does using the type of earth tones lots of dark greens  even the boldness of using yellows in her work a lot of artistic work a lot with yellow especially against such dark earth tones and so there's a lot of light against dark in her work and as i was saying that her shapes for me took on something totally different especially knowing that she's coming from islamic background where my experience had been that you don't do images of people but yet there are lots of figures in her work but yet it's very abstract isn't offensive and it doesn't seem to violate any rules of painting or drawing as far as the religion is concerned also i see stories in each of her images and so you it's a challenge to see what the story's about could you see pieces of furniture you see blades of plant life and you see these figures and they all kind of become as one very organic  first works i saw were more of the story lines that were very religious works from the orthodox faith and so i saw a lot of very similarities in the use of imagery and but now in a more contemporary sense i see  a more vast variety of imagery that is not necessary relationship to orthodox religion of any sort and so what i find is that it's refreshing because you've seen something about the life of people in another country people the culture the food i didn't see a whole lot of sights and scenes because i really just wanted to be around the people the things that impressed me the most is the family you know seen men walking with children through the streets that kind of unity you don't see much here i don't see much of any united states and i saw how the people seem to care they're very friendly people very happy thai people people who are resilient and i saw people who are very strong and  i enjoy the entertainment a lot the dances in one show there they show all the different dances from all different regions i had to go twice i enjoyed it so much my first fish it
