Description of a Crested Porcupine
A black and white photograph of a crested porcupine against a white background.
The porcupine is seen head-on. Its small, lowered, V-shaped head is framed by its circular torso that is supported by its two stocky, short front legs. The legs are directly below the head and are close together with a small square of light between them. There are four digits upon each foot. The porcupine’s long black and white quills bristle out and upward from its circular torso, past its forelegs, like the bristles of a half-round hairbrush. The quills are as long as the porcupine is tall. Each quill is banded in stripes of black and white. Long white quills stand up along the top of its head. The rest of its torso is covered by short dark bristles.
The dark figure of the porcupine stands out vividly from the stark white background. The only shadow is a short black line between the bottoms of its two front paws. The long black and white needle-like quills create a staccato halo upon its back.
Follow-up to “A ‘Dog-umentary’”
I was just on the Gateway Film Center’s site and the date for the film has changed. The day and time are Tuesday, September 25 at 2:00 PM.
In my last post about the upcoming film “Pick of the Litter”, I said that details about access for non-iOS users would be available on the Gateway Film Center’s website last week. When I checked over the weekend, I saw that it had not been added although the film is listed in upcoming events. Anyway, I called the theatre to double check on what would be available with regard to audio description for non-iOS users or anyone who doesn’t wish to use the Actiview app. The woman I spoke with told me that anyone desiring audio description should ask for the equipment at the ticket center, where it is available at no additional cost. The receivers fit in the cup holders on the arm of the theatre seats. You will be required to leave your ID at the ticket desk until you return the equipment.
So to recap: “Pick of the Litter”, an award-winning documentary that follows five Labrador puppies born in the Guide Dogs for the Blind breeding program from birth through their training to become guide dogs will be at the Gateway Film Center on Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at 2:00 PM. Audio description is available for download for iOS users on the Actiview app. The theatre also will be providing in-theatre audio description, just request the equipment at the ticket center. At the time I originally wrote this entry, the time was not listed on the website and the date was different so check You might want to check back at the Gateway Film Center’s website for the day and time before heading over there for the movie.
Information about the film itself, including trailers with audio description, is available at the Guide Dogs for the Blind website.
See you at the movies!
