What I'm doing. Where I've been. What I saw. And why I shot it.

new year, new faces

Hey there, it is 2014! You know that saying: start as you mean to go on? That's what I'm doing. The year kicked off with a shoot for one of my return clients, the U.S. Department of Education. They've sent me to photograph in a storytelling style at schools before, and it is always a good adventure. This time I was at a high school in Tampa, FL. My mission: show the engagement of students & administration, at a city school that's gone from deeply troubled to successful in the past few years.
ROTC kids posted outside to meet us at 7:30 am. So sweet and serious.

Students connecting to the work, to each other, and to their school .

The principal and committed teachers walking the talk.
 
This one isn't strictly part of the story.  Teen style, I love it. Hair bows!

my (recent) checkered past

A few peeks at this Pinterest board celebrating gingham, by fiber artist/stylist/designer Mary Jane Mucklestone, and I caught the textile virus. Next thing I know, I'm shooting this job in Washington DC.......
 I was supposed to be photographing the kindergarten field trip to the Capitol.
 All I saw was the gingham.


 You can see more of my educational work (but not  more gingham) in my corporate/ institutional portfolio, over on my website.
