When browsing through the DPHH pictures…do you ever feel like your finger wants to go on strike from constantly clicking the next link?
Well, we are pleased to announce the debut of our brand new Deaf Professional Happy Hour photo slideshow software! This was made possible by Viable’s sponsorship, as well as professional photography services provided by Viable.
The Viable photographer took 230 photos during DPHHs at Zanzibar at the Waterfront on May 4 and McFadden’s during the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Government opening night on May 8, 2007! Run, don’t walk, and check out the photos, click here.
It takes a little more time to load than the last software, be patient as the slideshow pulls down all of the photos for you to browse through.
So what do you think? Let us know!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Great setup.
Can you adjust the speed of the photos?
Dennis
Were the photos too fast or too slow? You’ll have to indicate that. ;-)
What you can do if it’s too slow for you, click on the arrow to move on to the next picture. That’s what I did :)
Can you make videos of DPHH next time? It is impossible to see ASL with mere photos. Photos are kinda audism and menacing to our natural language. Nowadays some oralists was able to use them to discredit ASL.
Eastman, inventor of kodak pictures, was good friends with AGB.

AGB was good friends with many famous people
RLM,
Oh puh-leaze! :(
RLM’s theories make many people sad :( :( :( :(
They’re always on target but most people can’t handle the truth. ;)
Ben Moore and RLM,
Uhm, so the thousands of photographs by deaf people during the Gallaudet protests were taken by audists?
ur sarcasm detector’s a little off today :)
It isn’t, I’m having fun lumping you together with RLM.

Sorry, but I think this complaint about photographs being “audistic” is a bit of stretch.
Consider this… hearing people who rely on speech have the same problem with photographs. They don’t express Spoken English any better than they do ASL. That’s the limitation of photography, period - it has nothing to do with being audistic.
To give an example… many of us have seen the pictures taken of Martin Luther King when he gave his “I Have a Dream” speech at the nation’s capital. But can one comprehend the powerful words spoken simply by looking at the photographs? Of course not… you have to view an actual film clip in order to do so. That’s not audistic, that’s just the reality of the medium and its limitations.
If you want to know what was said, you have to look at other mediums designed for the presentation of that information. This holds equally true for Hearing as it does Deaf, for Spanish as it does English, for Italians as it does Americans.
You want the DPHH gatherings to be videotaped? Certainly that is an option to be explored for the future - although I do have to wonder how many people would feel comfortable with seeing their personal, private conversations appearing on video. A few words spoken specifically for the camera? That might be possible, and worth discussing.
But please, don’t drag audism into the issue.
Miss Virginia, I can see you’re on the short end of the patience stick with some of the comments lately. ;-)
I must cosign on it though…there’s a tendency with some people here to make a mountain out of a molehill.
