Frozen frames

We're organizing a photo exhibit and naturally I needed to go over the snaps that I have available, and which tie into our theme of advocacy, theory and the media, especially as practitioners and academics.


We really only need two, but I realized I had quite a number which I thought would fit well. Here they are. Let me know what you think.













I got into photographing our shoots and our travels when I was still with the children's program I worked for. It was fascinating to watch them grow up in front of our eyes -- I know I sound like some surrogate mom. However, working with kids (and being responsible for them, I might add) gave you an acute sense of awareness and reawakening: the things I took for granted, I had to see through their eyes and describe in their language. And I realized how simple the world was for them, but also that, they had a way of making every moment count because like childhood, there was no going back. So these photos really are a documentation of these kids' time growing up, and me, growing along with them.
