ORGANIZATIONAL WEB SITES WITH PHOTOS

In order to add richness to the Silent Witness International project This web site was designed to share visual ideas, feature individual work, add interest and validate the old cliché of “a picture is worth a thousand words.” 

This page includes national and international web pages that feature pictures of production, set up, display and media coverage of their exhibit. If you have a web site set up with pictures please email a web page address with a short description of your project to dotlemmey@aol.com .
