This is our final Soundslides project, a team photo story we did on Wood Lane Industries in Bowling Green, Ohio. Read about my experience and view my photos in the previous blog post:

Final team project: Documenting Wood Lane Industries

   As a class for our final project, we got the chance to visit Wood Lane Industries. Wood Lane provides residential services throughout Wood County for people with developmental disabilities.

   During our trip we had to gather information and photos so we could put together a photo story with audio.

   After arriving at Wood Lane we met with a coordinator for an interview. She explained to us what they were about and told us some of the things they did to help serve their clients.

   We then split up into two groups; the group I was with had the pleasure of visiting a couple cottages, which housed individuals that lived together.

   There were only a few individuals home because we went during the time most of them worked or had other things to do.

   We then took photos of the individuals carrying out their daily tasks.

   I think our trip was successful and due to the small amount of people available, it allowed us a more up-close and personal  chance to meet some really neat individuals, as well as their staff.

   Working as a team was cool because if there was anything we missed, we had someone else there to possibly catch it.

   Putting together the story was fun because everyone jumped in and gave what they thought would work best with the pictures we had.

   Working as a team also posed many challenges but everyone came together well to finish what we started. 

    Hope you enjoy the photos!
