On Feb. 20, I will launch a multi-chapter photo series here, highlighting some 17 years of intense work that I'd done photographing various aspects of Garfield Park in Indianapolis.
There will be an introduction followed by more than three dozen chapters, each devoted to different aspects of my park photography -- e.g., the pagoda, the MacAllister Amphitheater, the Conservatory, the Garfield Park Arts Center, music and concerts, theater in the park, streams and creeks, the stone bridges and even one on Tickle Belly Hill.
Chapters have been organized in alphabetical order by subject matter, so, for example, we'll start off in Chapter 1 with the "America, We Remember" observances through the years. Chapter 2 will be the arts center, and so on. The final chapter will be the only deviation from the alpha order. It's a "surprise" kind of tribute post.
If Photo Potpourri using many chapters to convey an important dispatch sounds familiar, you'd be right. I used 16 chapters and an Epilogue last summer, beginning Aug. 1, to present my first-ever non-fiction story manuscript, On Hoosier Gridirons, at this blog. Throughout the series' text, I sprinkled photos collected from various sources — including my own — used in the project.
On Hoosier Gridirons told the story of two winning quarterbacks on Indiana small high school and small college teams that were in the same class year of school and attended small high schools and small colleges at opposite ends of Indiana. They happened to finally meet opposite each other in a college game their junior years on Sept. 26, 2009, at Franklin (Ind.) College's Red Faught Stadium. Both men went on to outstanding senior years in college and were finalists for NCAA Division III’s highest honor in 2010. And one of them won it.
