Arbor Glen Workshop

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

My Story recently began a three week photography workshop at Arbor Glen Housing Development in Southeast Portland. We are lucky to have a small group of kids who are extremely interested in the photographic medium. As with every workshop, the kids initially express some concerns about not using digital cameras but they are immediately intrigued by our Holga cameras and the tangibility of the negatives. It’s great being able to work in small groups and give the our participants individual attention. The kids are excited about the projects and we hope to have some great final prints.

“I had a dream about Family Matters”

group 540x531 I had a dream about Family Matters

Last week was exciting and busy. We held a great spring break camp at New Columbia in North Portland. The Regence Boys and Girls Club hosted us (thanks you guys!). Eleven girls imagined their futures, shared their dreams and tried to keep out of the rain. It was a good time. On Wednesday, Alex and I were surrounded by doctors, lawyers and fashion designers to be. Our students’ enthusiasm is contagious, and their photos are inspiring. I love my job.
